[johndawsonjune1955]

The Fountain Inn was previously known as the Blackbird Inn

[johndawsonjune1955]

A good list of pubs and i take my hat off to your dad for compiling it. Not an easy job. Well done

[johndawsonjune1955]

Oh just remembered. Cambois had a pub called the Brown Bear. It was situated down the lane from Charltons on the right hand side.

[Maggie/915]

No one would have survived a pub crawl around that lot!

[johndawsonjune1955]

Here is a bit history for Reedys dad who compiled the list of pubs.

Scotland Gate Club was formed in 1910 in what was formerly a butcher's shop. In around 1957 the club planned to build new premises on land bought from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for the bargain price of £500. On this site stood the Church of England School which the committee had planned to demolish to make way for the new building.

The club needed to build new premises for two reasons. First, the building only held 900 members and they needed larger premises to compete with other clubs. Secondly the old building was affected by subsidence.

The club began in what was formerly a shop and house belonging to a butcher called Tom Bowman. There was only a very small bar and sitting room in the building.

The first major extensions were carried out during the Second World War when a concert room was added. About the same time improvements were done to the bar to double its size.

We have only found the name of two founder members they are Mr. J. Cox, who was chairman of the first committee, and Mr. W. Jenkinson, who was a committee member. The first steward was Mr. Robert Donald, and the first secretary was a man known as "Fisher†Smith.

How many of these are open today?

My Mother worked there in the fifties,the Stewards surname was Lockey or Locke he had a son Jimmy who would probably be about 65/70 years old now.

Queens Head, opening soon as a .....................? Anyone?

[Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)]

Keith - whilst searching for something else I came across a photo of The Bedlington Terrier pub on:- http://www.yourlocal...ngton/pictures/ It's probably my memory playing games with me but for some reason I thought I had read in one of the topics (that I can't find, now) that you had not managed to get a photo of The Bedlington terrier pub before it was demolished.

[keith lockey]

Yeah, I've got similar photos as well, Eggy, cheers anyway. We were just on about The Terrier today; it used to be a thriving pub. It kind of had two cultures - the afternoon drinkers - ex-miners, etc, and evening drinkers, us youngins, and If you weren't in by 8pm you couldn't get a seat. Then in later years they didn't even bother opening during the day. What a shame, it was once a great pub.

Just visited Charlton's at Cambois.

Brilliant!

Someone said it was owned by a relation if Jack Charlton.

Either way great place for a walk and then a pint.

Oops sorry a coffee..

[tonyg]

I used to drink in the Terrier in the 60/s .and our evening wedding party was held there.
