Description
The first Stack Inn was at Stack Farm near Bill Point. Its trade came mostly from the iron and alkali works. River improvements removed Bill Point and the inn and farmhouse were lost. The farmer, Mr Tweddle, built a new Stack Hotel on the corner of Church Street and Station Road. It had two bars, six smoke and club rooms, four kitchens, four bedrooms, a private sitting room, larder, wine and bottle stores, wash house, two-stalled stable and coach house, a shop and a dwelling house of four rooms and a scullery. In 1897 J.H. Graham acquired the lease of the building for £13,800. The hotel later became a Bass house. In 1948 there were alterations. The small bar and room at the back were for men only. In 1962 a rear part of the building became a betting office. The Stack Hotel closed in the 1970s. It moved to the corner of Walker Road and Rochester Street.

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.
