Dryden & Co., owners of Monkseaton Brewery (HER 1151) built these cottages in 1821 for brewery workers. They were typical of their time, with whitewashed walls, black painted doors and shutters and brick floors. They were probably named after the coronation of George IV in 1820. They were demolished in 1936 to accommodate the new Black Horse Inn (HER 12133). The middle cottage was called 'Comfy Home' and was the residence of a Sally Smith who sold homemade sweets during the 1860s {CW Steel, 2000}.
