Description
This building was added to the South Tyneside local list in 2023. The local list description reads:
'A real period piece from the days when a mock rustic look was in vogue. The three rooms were refitted with fake half-timbered walls and beamed ceilings at an uncertain date - it could be late 1930s but just as likely 1950s or even early 1960s.
Table service was then still available- see the buzzer indicator box in the public bar and bell-pushes in the rear room ('Captain's Cabin'): the bell-pushes and all furniture have been cleared from the third room since the late 1990s.
The public bar is unusual as being the smallest of the three rooms and retains a bar back fitting at least 70 years old.
