Description
Built to replace the Station Hotel and the Railway Inn both demolished in the late 1960s to make way for The Forum shopping centre. The bar of the Anson has been called the Penny Wet Bar - Penny Wet being the nickname of the Station Hotel (HER 17481). There used to be a sign on the wall of the pub which stated the following: 'On New Years Eve in 1966 the Station Hotel closed its doots and Mr and Mrs James Moses walked the short distance to its replacement, The Anson, where they continued as the House Managers.' On the 3rd January 1967 the pub was officially opened by the mayor Councillor R Flemming. It was only the third pub in Wallsend to be opened since the war and was built by R W Bell and Co in the style to compliment The Forum shopping centre. The pub was named after the 35,000 ton HMS Anson launched in 1942. The pub underwent a full refurbishment and re-opened in 27th April 2007.

Description
The Station Hotel opened on September 17th 1872. It was known by the nickname Penny Wet. The house acquired its nickname before the Licensing Act of Llloyd George which restricted the opening times. Prior to the First World War it was open at 06:30 for the shipyard workers to get a drink to warm themselves and it was customary to buy a coffee and a rum for 1d - hence the Penny Wet. Station Hotel closed 2nd January 1967. The pub was demolished along with the nearby Railway Inn in the late 1960s to make way for a new shopping development. The Anson PH opened as a replacement. The bar of the Anson has been called the Penny Wet Bar.
