Demolished Building


Owned by Newcastle's Hanover Square Brewery then F.M. Laing. In 1920 it was bought by William Gilroy of the Raby. He altered the Crown and Anchor in the 1930s. He then sold it to McEwan's. In the 1950s there were plans to create a bar annexe from a bottle store, take the select room into the sitting room and move the manager's quarters upstairs. In 1954 it was decided not to proceed with the alterations. The pub closed in 1969.
