Wolsington House, 1902 - North Shields
-
Description
Evidently there has been a Pub on the site since 1834 (John Veitch's Alehouse) and the present building was erected in 1902 to a design by North Shields Architect, John Spencer. Built for the Inn Keeper A.N. Dodds. In her book, The Northumbrian Pub, Lynn F. Pearson gives this pen picture of Andrew Nichol Dodds. Born in Jesmond he was apprenticed as a blacksmith but at the age of 30 moved to North Shields as a publican where ultimately he built up a chain of 5 pubs in both North Shields and Tynemouth. He was a political radical, Chartist, pioneer of the local co-operative movement, local councillor, philanthropist, breeder of Bedlington Terriers and homing pigeons. -
