"1902 by A. Stockwell; originally the 'Carlton Hotel' which had a billiard hall.

In 1962, the centenary of the Blaydon Races, it became a music hall once again and revived the name Balmbra's. The famous Tyneside comedian Dick Irwin performed here for many years. In 1981 the music hall became a disco. In 1983 pool tables were installed in the auditorium....." -
