Royal George Public House, Brunton Park.
The Royal George is now just a 'memory'. I took this photo of the Care Home being built on the site last week, from exactly the same spot as the two photos of the Royal George (later on in this post) were taken from.
It appears that the new Care Home is nearly finished . . .

There were over 600 objections to this demolition and development, but it made no difference whatsoever.
Below is a photo of the Royal George, from the Journal a while back . .
Wave of protests at bid to bulldoze pub
Oct 1 2008 by Tony Henderson, The Journal
![]()
Plans to demolish a Newcastle pub have been met with a wave of protest.
Hadrian Healthcare wants to build a 46-bedroom residential care home on the site of the Royal George in Brunton Park, Newcastle, just north of Gosforth.
More than 530 letters of objection have been lodged, together with a protest petition of 399 signatures.
The bid goes before city councillors on Friday.
Objections include:
The pub is a focal point for the estate and a community asset
The proposed building is more than three times the size of the existing pub building
The plans will harm the viability of the local centre of which the pub is part and which features a shopping parade, community centre, church and clinic.
All three ward councillors have protested against the proposal.
Council leader and ward member John Shipley has objected to the plans, saying that the proposed building is too large for the site and encroaches too closely on neighbouring houses. He also fears the scheme will have a negative impact on the local centre and that the Royal George has been a fundamental part of Brunton Park’s facilities since the estate was built.
Two other ward councillors have also objected. Coun Diane Packham does not consider that there is a demand for further residential care in Gosforth and the proposal does not support council policy to keep older people independent at home for as long as possible.
She also says that the Royal George is an essential element of the local centre.
Coun David Down claims that the proposal would be out of character with the area and that it would be overbearing and intrusive on neighbouring properties.
North Gosforth Parish Council has objected to the proposal due to the loss of a valuable community asset that provides a facility for residents to meet and that the loss of the pub may cause drink-driving.
The pub closed in early August.
Planners say although there have been substantial objections to the loss of the pub, they think that refusal of the proposal on these grounds could not be sustained.
However, they consider the scale and form of the development would have an unacceptable impact on nearby homes.
The proposal, at almost three times the size of the existing building, is considered to be an overdevelopment of the site, and planners are advising that the scheme should be rejected.

I live in North Gosforth near Asda and had a walk up through Brunton Park and The Great Park the other night, until then I didn't realise the pub had gone. What an absolute disgrace it is too. Just as they're building a whole new community there it loses one of it's only community facilities.
Have to say I was very dissapointed with the quality of the great park too. About 2 years since I was last up there very little progress has been made. Pavements and curbs are sinking and collapsing and drains have cones on them to stop people getting injured. Cars are parked absolutely everywhere and over everything, there's no access between the great park and brunton park for the new residents to use the shops (or the former pub) easily. Lights don't work, there's no shops of any sort that I can see, only one way in and out, and mud everywhere.
I'm just glad I didn't pay the £200k for a tiny house they were asking there.

Can anyone tell me where The Adelaide is/was please? the building looks really familiar. The photo below is from same Flikr stream and is dated 1985.

Fab, thank you Graham. That would make the building on the right, what is now "Cafe Nero" and the pub and everything to the left is now gone and part of Eldon Square.

HISTORICAL PUBS of the PAST . . .
These photos of 150 Scottish & Newcastle Inns (from the late 70s/early 80s) have already been shown on the Newcastle Pubs thread, but I know that many people who visit THIS thread on Historic Newcastle do not necessarily ever visit the Pubs one!
So, I though they could be repeated on here, for those who have not seen them before.
In short, in the 1970s and 1980s Scottish & Newcastle Inns used to fix labels, showing photos of all their pubs, to each and every "box of matches" that they sold in their pubs.
Does anyone remember them?
A friend of mine was an 'Area Manager' (or something!) for S&N in those days, and he (knowing of my habit for collecting such things on Newcastle) gave me this full "proof set" of all 150 pub matchbox labels!
I am sure they are quite rare, so here is a trip down memory lane, followed by a few bits of Newcastle Brown Ale memorabilia, also . . .

Did anyone find a "long lost" LOCAL PUB, amongst them?
NOW . . .
Here is a little bit of information about the history of (at least, up until 1983 when it was written) the "Scottish & Newcastle Inns" public houses, featured in the above 150 photos . . .
AND FINALLY . . .
Here are a few bits of historical information, that you may not know, about the 'one and only' NEWCASTLE BROWN ALE . . .

Wow! Amazing how cheap beer was back then but the prices hadn`t changed much when i started drinking in 1974.Oh, and N/cle Starbrite beer, what a heap of shite that was, along with Tartan Bitter. I was partial to the 80/- myself, now that was a decent pint.
A barrel ( 36 gallon/288 pts) of 80/- for less than £27.

It was the 'Central Methodist Church' on Northumberland Road (Left hand side heading away from Northumberland Street) it has been replaced by the brick office block that is in between Tilley's/City Tavern/Stepps/Huxters/City Tavern again/Shamrox/LYH/whatever it is called this week, and Pacific Bar Cafe.
Here is a photo of it . .
and an earlier photo showing the spire. This one is earlier than even when "whatever it is called this week" was called the City Tavern!!

I have another old-Jesmond question. Can anyone on here help, please?
I believe there was a small pub or inn along Jesmond Dene Road which has now long gone. I'll guess it was probably operating 1850-1910. But I've forgotten its name and exactly where it was.
It was on a road just off Jes Dene Rd, it faced north, was constructed as a single storey, pitched roof cottage with central doorway, whitewashed with the name on the east-facing gable end. The side road might have been the stub end of Reid Park Road (which leads to the footpath to St Mary's Well the Manor House and becomes The Grove), or it may have been near (the long demolished) Stote's Hall and the entrance into Collingwood Terrace.
I recall a picture of this pub in one of the series of "Bygone" brochures published by City Libraries which I've mislaid and which isn't in the current series. I don't know if that was from an old photograph, drawing or painting.
And I have a hunch that the word "rose" or "bird" appeared in its name.
Anyone know what it was called, what years it traded and where it was, please? Its been irritating me for some time that I've forgotten the detail.

I think this is the place you are looking for.
I used to live nearby, and I remember passing that stone wall at the bottom of Reid Park Road, daily, on my way across the Dene to Manor Park School.

IT IS ! !
Thank you!
The "Apple Tree Inn", yes, that's exactly what I wanted to know, and that's exactly the image I remember having seen.
Much appreciated!

That WALL is indeed still there. Photo taken 27th May 2010 . .
The wall, from exactly the same angle, is much more overgrown, but its 'shape' can still be seen. The pillars and gates are still there, just to the right of my photo. I thought they were 'in shot' actually!!

Can anyone remember what this bar (now Sinners) was called before it was called Lennon's?

I have found out a bit more about this place (63 Newgate Street) . . .
1 - In the 1800s (!) it was called The Victoria Hotel.
2 - It was rebuilt in the 1920s, but was still called The Victoria.
3 - It closed (as the Victoria) in 1960 and became a carpet shop!
4 - It was re-opened as a pub in 1977, when 'John Smiths' opened it as The Canny Lad.
5 - In the late 1980s, it briefly became called Mr Smiths.
6 - In the early 1990s it became Lennon's.
7 - It is now (as we know) Sinners.

I've just come across this old pic of the Carlisle pub in that location, from a W.R.HarleA few more annoying gaps and abandoned buildings for you (apologies in advance if they've been discussed before).
Corner of Blenheim Street & Westgate Road (Used to be site of a pub)

Anyone have any ideas what used to be there and what, if any, are the plans for them?
