6. Demolition plans for The Holborn Rose and Crown, Hill Street, South Shields
The Victorian era Rose and Crown - also known as The Rosie - at Holborn, South Shields is set to be demolished in September. Located in Hill Street, the building sits next to a stretch of land where the council is undertaking major development works. Tenants Chris and Karen McKellar took over the running of the pub in August last year, on a two-year lease from the council, that was set to keep the pub open in the short term. | JPIMedia Photo: Stu Norton
