That’s a very grand building. I wonder what it was before it became a pub?

I wonder if my grandad ever had a pint in there?. On my mothers birth certificate, he is an Iron ship caulker, sounds like a nasty job, nowonder he died young in his forties in 1922. They lived in Breamish St, Jarrow at that time.

That whole thing is a pub?
Holly cow. How many can get in there at one time.
The photograph is striking and I came because I did suspect it was your city hall or seat of government.

Lovely building, can’t say I recall it though. Between the lines, Jarrow does have some wonderful architecture, of course the Town Hall is a grand old building too and I suppose this pub is probably just down the road from there. Let’s have more of these kind of shots please, they’re a joy!

I used to drink in here when it was The Viking – it was my first “local” from (slightly before) the age of 18. It had two bars back then, and when they converted and updated it they opened upstairs as well. I still pop in when I’m visiting, but now my stomping ground is Eastbourne, so that’s not very often. I have only just discovered this site, and I have spent most of the evening checking out the photos and feeling very homesick! Keep up the good work.
