5. Jarrow - The Albion Gin and Ale House
The guide claims: “This is a well appointed conversion from the old Crusader, in the ‘traditional’ ex Jarrow Brewery style, with an emphasis on wooden panelling, carpets, vintage photographs of the area including the shipyards, pits, pubs and street scenes.” Photo: Google
6. Mid Boldon Club
“The single room on 3 levels is served from a single bar and features a snooker table. There are four ever changing cask beers always from local and independent breweries.” Photo: Google
7. The Grey Horse
The Grey Horse on Front Street in East Boldon has seen plenty of praise, with the guide saying: “it has a single open-plan room with a number of separate seating areas, and upstairs is a function room. The guest beers are mainly from larger independent brewers.” Photo: Tim Richardson
8. The Black Horse, West Boldon
“A former coaching inn/blacksmith shop, this pub can trace its history back to the early 1700s or older, possibly as far back as the Battle of Boldon in 1644. It has two rooms, a bar and a restaurant.” | Google Maps
