Description
The Moulders' Arms may be a building shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1861 as part of a small strip of buildings almost on the shore at Bill Point. However, this promontory into the River Tyne was removed as part of the river improvement scheme in the 1880s. Bennison's reference to the Moulders' Arms which closed before the end of the 19th century and in 1894 was said to be 'a house of disorderly character' must refer to another location which has not been identified.
