Longship pub closed in Hebburn due to fighting- mags got a hiding.

Can I hell remember what that used to be called, I think it was a Vaux bar but I'm probably wrong

The Albion.

Jarrow Crusaders in my lifetime, may have been something else before that

Aye, the Crusaders, there was definitely an Albion on that stretch over the road from the Cottage so possibly the name changed.

It will be the same place because it was recently called the Albion, guessing as a nod to it's former name

Queens over the road was a dump mind

iirc both Jarrow Queens were dumps, but each to their own I suppose.

Gin house got burned down recently, 100% not an insurance job from the non-shady owner

He's very unlucky when it comes to fires in pubs he owns

Reading the names of the forgotten bars & CIU clubs in Hebb'n and Jarra hasn't half brought some memories back.

Not that I've noticed but that also used to be a decent bar we passed through on our way in or out of Jarra.

My auntie lived around that way, bit of a dump wasn't it?

Of course O'Malleys too

The Welly was tenanted by the wife of a lad I knew from work. Which reminds me of the Alex on the walk down there

Re my recent post, was O'Malleys what the Alex was renamed as?

It’s owned by an private investor company from down South that bought it prior to the planned Tesco takeover, trying to flip it for a profit. Unfortunately, due to ASDA taking over Netto and owning most of car park to the rear, they refused to sell up to their competitors. A real shame tbh because they were going knock down the precinct and rebuild it with high street shops etc, build social housing on Glen street to replace the flattened tenements and build the new swimming pool for council for nothing. Now the investors cant sell it and stuck with it for the foreseeable

Used to work in the vehicle workshops council depot in Glen street before they were moved to middlefields about 1978

Spookys Bridge near Luke’s lane was great for getting airborn in your GTi back in the day.

Spuggys bridge

Yeah

May have been the Alex before, then Omalleys then back

 

[WashFTM]

There was a sports stadium near there too. I will probably get this wrong too but was it the Matupa?

Metupa

 

[Dennis]

Of course the Allison Arms and was it the Alkali

Yes, along the bottom road.

The Viking is still there, it's back to being the The Ben Lomond.
The Club Hastings was a weird place (but I won't go into that), The Elmer Fudd was not great (crap snooker tables & poor beer imo), Hebburn Labour was always good crack then it became Victoria Pk which was great & packed on a weekend before it burned down. The Iona was a regular haunt on my/our way from Claps along the bottom road via The Station/Roys, County (Miss Kinx night club was upstairs) along to The Banks then into Jarra via a few long gone bars if your legs were still functional. The Jarrow bars most are gone that I knew like the Cottage, one of the Queens (Arms or Head) and others I can't recall the names of.

Them were the days in my youth!

The Long Bar used to be a good bar with decent beer, last time I walked past it still looked like a bar. But no one was in.

Jarra pubs The Borough arms just down the road from the Cottage
