Kings Head - Front Street West - Now officially The Grapes. Maureen Quait - Bedlington Remembered Facebook site - commented 'It used to have a large stone bunch of grapes hanging outside & it also used to have a plaque stating that it was the birthplace of Daniel Gooch, who invented the first rolled iron rails, which I believe were manufactured at the Bedlington Iron Works.' John Dawson's c1970 photo. -
Gardeners Arms, Front Street East. The info with the photo - The landlord was a character called J.D.J. Metcalfe. A prominent and well respected breeder of Bedlington terriers and he bred them in kennels behind the pub - was from 'Keith's' posting on this site. -
Foxy's image posted on the Bedlington Remembered Facebook site and Joyce Scott (probably Shep) posted an old painting of the Top End that has the Travelers Rest pub depicted in it. The painted name looks like TraveLLers Rest. -

Within Reedy's dads list was a pub the Travelers Rest and this was taken to be the one that still exists in Scotland Gate as it was listed among the pubs in the Guidepost and Scotland Gate area ie. - Shakespeare Tavern, Guidepost Club, Traveler's Rest, Scotland Gate Club etc. Foxy found, in his vast collection, this photo of the Top End with a pub named the Traveler's Rest. Don't have any date of when this pub closed but I assume it was before Reedy's start began his legal visits to the Bedlington pubs. -
