John Gowans was brewing at the Hatters' Arms for a short time in the 1870s.

Charles Ford brewed here from 1847 to 1857. The brewery could produce 30 half-barrels each brewing. It included malt lofts, offices, a stable and a covered yard, a dwelling house and the Brewer's Arms beerhouse. Ford left to take over the General Wolfe in Canada Street but he died in 1858. Thomas Smith worked here from 1863 to 1865, then he handed over to James Pearse. In 1868 John Allan took over. In 1878 the brewing plant, a spring-cart and a horse were sold off. Thomas Davison continued brewing here for a few years. The brewery became a laundry then a hay merchant's. During the Second World War it was used for civil defence exercises. After the war It was demolished as part of a slum clearance.

This brewery was rebuilt in 1866. It was attached to the Grey Horse public house which was above the brewery office. To the rear was a large yard and a maltings. Stables, a cart shed and joiners shop. William Elliott was running the Grey Horse Brewery from 1867. He died in 1874 and his two sons, William and John took over. The brewery could produce 100 barrels a week. William Elliott Junior was declared bankrupt in 1877. John Elliott went into liquidation in 1879. The brewery became the City Livery Stables.

Henry Dunn brewed here from 1859 until 1878. The brewery was at the rear of the dispensary (HER 7694). Around 1840 the dispensary had become a place of entertainment called Saddlers' Wells. Subsequent alterations created a public house and brewery. It lost its licence in 1892, when it was able to produce around 18 gallons at each brewing.

Beer was brewed behind this inn. John Henderson Shepherd brewed here from 1855 to 1879. He handed the premises over to Andrew Burnside. Two years later Hodge & Stevens were the owners. They improved the brewery but then sold off their equipment and stock which included a brand new refrigerating machine. In the 1880s Dover, McEwan & Co. took over the inn, later Dover & Newsome Baxter Ltd. The pub was commonly called 'Tommy Hoffman's'. It was once in the possession of Edward Chicken, a schoolmaster, parish clerk of St. John's and 'eccentric but clever poet' who wrote 'The Collier's Wedding'. In 1903, Scottish athlete Donald Dixie took over as manager. It lost its licence in 1906 when magistrates deemed it to be over-run by prostitutes and other "disorderly characters". In 1924 Joel's Auction Galleries (HER 6482) were erected on the site, later to become Barker and Stonehouse furniture shop.

George Dixon was brewing at the Blue Bell Inn in the 1850s. The pub closed in 1867.

Low Row is an attractive paved area with seating and planting. At the northern end stands an attractive group of public houses including Victoria Buildings and Greens Public House (HER 4476).

The Ord Arms was built in 1831 on Scotswood Road, slightly downriver from the Chainbridge, to capitalise on the anticipated increase in road traffic between the new bridge and Newcastle. A newspaper article in 1864 described the inn as having a "large garden, coachhouse, stable, cow byre, brewhouse and about 19 acres of old grass land".

In the early 1860s Jane Cox was brewer here, later Thomas Charlton. In 1873 Robert Gibson is listed. However, the brewhouse was only in use until the 1870s. The pub was auctioned in 1898 by Rowntree & Sherwell, who described the house as 'a plain and unpretentious building' which sold for £28,100 (the auctioneer acknowledged the sum was 20x the value without a licence). By the time of the auction, the Ord Arms had beer cellars, a large bar, parlour, snug, news room, bagatelle room and kitchen on ground floor. Above this were the billiards room, club room and three bedrooms. Outbuildings comprised a wash house, six-stalled stable, a byre for 14 cows and a coach house. Next door there were refreshment rooms, a yard and gardens. However, its main appeal was the location close to Scotswood Railway Station and the imminent opening, across Scotswood Road of the Armstrong Whitworth (later Vickers) Scotswood Works and its anticipated thirsty workforce.

In 1900 it was rebuilt by F.M. Laing with a distinctive clock tower. The Ord Arms was acquired by Robert Deuchar (1937) and by Newcastle Breweries in the 1950s. Ultimately the public house closed in December 1965 and demolished in 1966 for a new road layout to Scotswood Bridge. The clock tower was moved to the Tyne Brewery in Newcastle. Following demolition of the brewery in 2007, the clock tower mainly made of lead, was transferred to the S&N Brewery site in central Newcastle for safety but when this site was cleared in 2011 it was lost to metal thieves.

The Robin Adair pub was built to replace the Ord Arms but only lasted a few years before falling victim to the widening of Scotswood Road to dual carriageway dimensions in the mid 1980s.

Harrison Colbeck brewed here from the 1840s until 1851. The brewhouse was attached to the Lemington Hotel. Colbeck's tenancy also included two maltings, offices, six cottages and 2 acres of land. The brewery had a 35 barrel copper, a steam engine, a cart, two drays and seven horses.

Francis Cochrane, licensee of the Clayton Arms and an attorney's clerk, brewed here. In 1851 a joiner in Nun Street was selling the plant of 'a compact brewery, capable of brewing about twenty half-barrels, together with the whole of the materials".
