Description
Rebuilt in 1891 by the Oswald practice, altered in 1900. The yellow, green and brown faience façade was added around 1913. Originally the blank window in the upper floor was filled by a coloured faience plaque advertising Bell and Taylor. This may survive under present boarding. The pub has an elaborate corner porch, with floral patterns and dragon's heads worked into the spandrels. Considered to the best early C20 pub in North Shields. Said to have been a favourite of local author Robert Westall. LOCAL LIST
