The Dolphin, Tynemouth


The Dolphin is a public house, located on King Edward Road, Tynemouth. It is said to be the oldest surviving inn in Tynemouth, appearing on the first edition OS map (c.1801)[1], though rennovated/rebuilt, in a Tudor style, in the 1930s. Notably, an old human jawbone was found during alterations to the building in 1934; speculated to be an exciseman, murdered by smugglers. The Dolphin is on the Local List of Non-Designated Heritage Assets for North Tyneside.
