Description:
This 1897 beer house has survived until the present day as a popular local public house. The Harrogate House pub was bought by William Beading in 1925 for £4,000. In 1930 it was extended and sold to Robert Deuchar five years later for £10,000. The pub became fully licensed in 1950 and is now in the ownership of Newcastle Breweries. The attractive pillared ground floor front, which was restructured in 1948, is well designed. The upper floors of this three storey mostly brick pub possesses attractive stone window surrounds.
