19th Century public house and, until the 1970s, a residential hotel.
The property was rented from Newcastle Breweries by Derek Armstrong, owner of the Cavalier Club and the County Hotel. It was renamed The Viking.
In 1995 it had fallen into disrepair and came close to being demolished. However, Wetherspoon stepped in to buy the property and refurbished the building, returning its name to The Ben Lomond. LOCAL LIST
