Jesmond Road, Cradlewell Public House

The Cradlewell pub was opened in 1904 by Robert Deuchar. It was built on the site of the original Cradlewell Public House which dated from c.1833. The pub took its name from the nearby water trough. Deuchar’s building is sandstone and brick. The main section is three storeys and there is a one storey extension which is now used as an entrance. A further entrance on the south face is surrounded with elaborate carving in the sandstone which contrasts with the muted decoration elsewhere. Another elaborate feature is the oriel window at the first floor on the south east corner. It has a sandstone bowl base and a parapet that rises to the top of the second floor and the windows are of stained glass. LOCAL LIST
