On Gateshead Road. There has been a pub here since the mid C19 at least and probably before then. It is on the old Toll Road from Gateshead to Burnopfield and as it's part way up a bank, may have been used a resting and watering place for horse drawn vehicles. The pub was rebuilt in 1905 and this is the building that stands today.
