Grade II Listed as mid 18th century house and inn and it is listed as the Old Kings Arms at least as early as 1828. I can't see it in 1791 but it may be just a beerhouse and probably not named. It was the first pub of Tynemill Limited (Castle Rock Brewery) established in 1977 and described then as 'closed for many years'. Old King's Arms leaves the Tynemill estate in 1994. Admiral Taverns appears in 2013 in association with the pub that then has more than one short lived company registered to the address. A search of my directories found it was at 10 Kirkgate and, presumably, re-numbered to 19 between 1892 and 1904. Landlords listed include; 1828 John Lacy; 1832 S Horspool; 1835-1855 George Surgey (1855 also '& boot & shoe ma.'); 1876 John Esam; 1885 Joseph Grocock; 1891 Arthur Shaw Robotham; 1892 W J Lissett; 1904 Harry Attenborough.
