Wetherspoons - when did it open?

[Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)]

Did Wetherspoons open on the 5th September 2011?

From the previous comments on this site it was after 2010 - as that's when people were discussing what was happening to the Red Lion and were Wetherspoons taking over.

There is a web site giving all the Wetherspoons pubs and the dates they opened :-

It lists the local pubs as :-

 

Northumberland: (6)

Ashington: Rohan Kanhai, 1-4 Woodhorn Road, Ashington, Northumberland. (27th October 2000)

Bedlington: Red Lion, Front Street West, Bedlington, Northumberland. (5th September 2011)

Blyth: Wallaw, 14 Union Street, Blyth, Northumberland. (28th April 2014)

Cramlington: John the Clark of Cramlington, Low Main Place, Cramlington, Northumberland. (19th September 2013)

Hexham: Forum, 8-9 Market Place, Hexham, Northumberland. (27th October 2000)

Morpeth: Electrical Wizard, 11 New Market, Morpeth, Northumberland. (5th September 2011)

 

The above list of pubs was posted in response to a question about the local Wetherspoon pubs on the Ashington remembered Facebook group and one member (lives in Alnwick) posted :-
