Broken Doll, Newcastle


The Broken Doll was a pub and music venue on Blenheim Street in Newcastle. There had been a pub on this site since the mid 19th century. It was rebuilt in 1903 and was originally called the Coach and Horses. The Coach and Horses was owned by Tyne Brewery Co. and Robert Newton before Richard Charlton acquired it. In 1982 it was renamed the Broken Doll and grew to become a thriving live music venue that was a favourite with students, bikers, punks, new-wave and blues fans. It was forced to close in 1994 for the construction of St James' Boulevard.
