Roughest pub in sunderland

[Cox Green Fc]

Could imagine the old Round Robin in pennywell being rough back in the day.

It isn’t there any more is it?

Used to be Hearts of oak ,renamed

A lot of people mistaking shitholes for rough pubs on here

The one and only time in my life I've been offered heroin was in Hogans.

On Christmas Eve

What was the 'H' like?

 

[The Man The Legend]

Blue House or Charltons maybe

Is the Blue House still open? It’s hard to tell from the road.

Went in couple times in late 80s/early 90s when people still went down hylton road for a change from the town , didnt seem as bad as expected

It certainly looks picturesque

Its exactly the same if not worse all over the country, its not just a Sunderland thing....

Aye loads shut up and down the country, a lot of pubs that are left turn into a restaurant to survive.

Most people stay in and chat online nowadays

all the lights were on and people were in the other night. Mind it could just have been being burgled or having its copper piping stripped out.

The Hastings Hill used be be rough- even had an Alsatian roaming about on the roof- dont see that anymore !

I'm not from Sunderland but driving through it on the way home from the match last night, the amount of pubs that are derelict or converted in to Herons, Londis etc is unreal

Really? I'd be intrigued to know which route you took? If it was the A690 you wouldn't have passed one. Chester Road (A183) you would have passed 1 that has converted to a gym, but none converted to a shop. Hylton Road, 1 again, Heron Foods where the Round Robin used to be. A1231 none, B1291 1 at Southwick. North Hylton Road The Torrens partially demolished and turned into 3 separate shops. Newcastle Road - none! So not that many and hardly unreal. I may have missed a couple but again it still wouldn't be a lot.

Up Newcastle road then on towards Southwick. That one on the corner that is now a Londis, The Tram Car Inn that looks derelict, Southwick club (derelict), then over the Alex bridge then on towards Ford and Pennywell where there was the Round Robin (?) Which is now a Herron. Then on to the 690 towards Silksworth where the Prospect is now a Lidl and the Double Maxim is now McDonald's. There were probably more that I missed
