Description
The Robin Adair took the name of a previous inn on the opposide side of Scotswood Road mentioned in the The Blaydon Races.

Opened by Dan T Smith. The building consitsed of a bar which could sit 150, another bar, a lounge buffet and an off-licence shop. The keynote of the exterior was a panel 16ft x 10ft depicting various characters in a horse drawn wagon on their way to Blaydon Races. The mural was designed by George Dereford. The commission took 640 hours and consistsed of antique glass, smalti, ceramic and gold mosaic pieces. Less than 25 years later the pub was disused following a fire and considered to be an eyesore. The Benfield Motors Garage now occupies the site.

Description
In 1902 the Northumberland Public House Trust Company obtained a licence to build the Delaval Arms on Scotswood Road. Most of the ground floor was taken up by what was described as a 'drawing room' with a conventional bar at one end and a temperance bar at the other. Other rooms included a drawing room seating 150 'where workmen can bring their own bait and have it warmed up, can have the raw material cooked for them, or can purchase from the management's own tariff'. Dinners were to cost between 6d and a shilling. In 1923 the Trust went in to liquidation and the pub was sold to a Acottish brewer, Jas Aitken and then Hammonds in 1962 for £3450. The pub held a 6 day licence before 1963 and was still referred to as 'The Trust' until its closure in 1976.

Description
As the housing estates spread to the western fringes of the city new land was sought by brewers. Arrol's aquired land on West Road to build the Denton Burn Hotel. The intention was to construct a modern hotel with bedrooms to be used by motorists. The Denton Hotel opened on Race Wednesday in June 1937. The building was set back from the road, with trees planted round it and dwarf walls round the grounds. In 1939 plans were drawn up for a dining room for resident guests and a lounge for customers on the first floor. The Denton has changed with public tastes over the years. In the early 1970s it became an attractive drive-to-and-eat place with the opening of its Cavalier Steak Bar and lounge.
