Ralph Gardiner's cottage stood opposite. After the dissolution of Tynemouth Priory in 1539, the burgesses of Newcastle claimed the rights to handle all trade on the River Tyne. They tried to prevent ships from docking in North Shields. This had a disasterous effect on the town. In 1653 local brewer, Ralph Gardner, was imprisoned for refusing to close his brewery, which was used to provision ships. From his prison cell in 1655 he petitioned Parliament against the unfair demands of Newcastle, calling it 'England's Grievances Discovered'.
