First look as Jarrow pub The Crown and Anchor gets ready to reopen on July 4 following major transformation

Jarrows oldest pub will reopen when lockdown restrictions are lifted on Saturday, July 4 – after a £75,000 refurbishment.

The Crown and Anchor in Chapel Road has seen a complete transformation over the last few months while the lockdown measures have been in place.

The historic boozer was taken over by new landlord Gareth Carr in November 2019.

After seeing little investment for several decades, it has been fully refurbished inside and out, with the addition of a stylish outdoor seating area.

The new-look pub will welcome its first customers on Saturday, with social distancing measures in place in line with government guidance.

We take a look inside ahead of the big day.
