Description

This small traditional public house in Brandling Village dates back to 1836, when it was popular with the grocers and tailors of the area. It was the property of Bells Robson and Co and was named Collingwood by landlord Robert Hewlett, after the famous commander in chief of the British fleet in the Mediterranean. It was rebuilt in 1903 by W. B. Reid of Leazes Brewery who had acquired it in 1890, and altered again during the 1970s. It is a two storey brick structure with sash windows and a sandstone façade on the ground floor. LOCAL LIST
