The Grey Horse Pub, Shiremoor

This pub stands at the old cross roads which lead, in one direction to Newcastle, in another direction to Blyth, and in the third direction to North Shields. The old cross roads are marked with an old signpost which is a well-preserved reminder of what road signs were like before they were redesigned by Margaret Calvert in the 1960s. When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1865, the pub, then referred to as 'The Grey Horse Inn', along with adjoining Bertram Place were the only buildings standing at this point.
