Description
Pub created on Newbiggin Hall Estate c.1960. A staircase from Newbiggin Hall was incorporated into the new build. By error or for an unknown reason the pub was called the Newbiggen Hall Hotel (not Newbiggin). It became the focal point of the estate, as prior to the construcion of the estate church in 1967 religious services were held here. The pub was destroyed following a fire.
