Documentary Evidence
William Potter & Co. were 'beer and porter brewers' here from 1787. Baillie's directory of 1801 lists the business as Messrs Potter, Langhorn & Co. in Skinnergate. In 1818 they also had a brewery at Swalwell with Robert Jobling and Cresswell Jobling, trustees of Margaret Jobling and Addison Langhorn Potter. William Potter and Addison Langhorn Potter ran the business from then on. Shown on Oliver 1831. The last directory entry for the Newcastle Brewery is 1844. A 'Malthouse' is still shown on the site on OS 1879 25" edition. Gone by at least 1940.
