Who fancies a Bank Holiday trip to the pub. We do and we are going back in time for 13 memories of the Ben Lomond.

The Jarrow local has regularly featured in the Shields Gazette.

We have memories of a Macmillan Cancer Support walk, a fundraising bath and a grand reopening in 2018.

Take a look and see how many scenes you remember.
