Description
The Trent House is a popular traditional pub located in the city centre of Newcastle. The Cox family bought the pub in 1861 and ran it until 1928. The building was then altered and enlarged in the 1930s, and became the property of Newcastle Breweries in 1950. This attractive two storey building is constructed from brick, with timber framed windows, and a slated roof. LOCAL LIST
