Description
"The Central [[2242551]] or 'Coffin' as it's known locally (although it looks a lot less narrow in the drawing here) http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?t=objects&type=all&f=&s=central&record=10 was designed in 1854 by local architect M Thompson and built in 1856. It became a hotel around 1890. The Central sits on its own island site between Hills Street (left) and Half Moon Lane (right) and has five front elevations. It was built for Alderman Potts, a wine merchant, and became a hotel around 1890. Tyne and Wear HER(8267): Gateshead, Half Moon Lane, The Central Public House http://www.twsitelines.info Its recent renovation is documented here http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/evening-chronicle-news/2010/09/02/gateshead-s-central-pub-opens-after-revamp-72703-27186615/2/ and illustrated on Geograph [[200651]] and [[1833124]] There is a photo of the Edwardian buffet bar installed c.1906 taken in 1997 here http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?t=objects&type=all&f=&s=central&record=31 What attracts me - the external architecture, the carefully restored interior, roof garden or its array of local real ales? http://www.theheadofsteam.co.uk/gateshead/" Photo by Andrew Curtis, 2011. -
