Small pub with a front bar and a back tap room. A new frontage was added in 1873. It belonged to Sandyford Stone Brewery. It lost its licence in 1905 when it was being leased by Arrol's. The landlord made £10 a week and Arrol's thought it should be over £15. The pub did not have decent toilet facilities. The Oswald architectural practice drew up plans to improve and enlarge the pub but this never happened. When the licence was lost the pub reverted to being a beerhouse. It later became a rag shop.

Description
Had a brewery until the 1840s. The pub was located between the old wooden dead-house and the River Police Station. It was used for inquests held on bodies found in the River Tyne. It closed in 1893. It had a parlour which was 'the perfect ideal of the paradise of a shore-going captain of the old school; with its low ceiling, and its long latticed window, like those you see in the state cabins of the old high-pooped East Indiamen'.
