 The Bridge Hotel, next to the High Level Bridge. A magnificent Victorian pub with more stained glass windows and panels than a church. |

 The Crown Posada, with stained glass windows. An old fashioned pub favoured by mature drinkers. |
 BTW, the guy in these photos is not me, but an old drinking mate of mine. |
 The Free Trade, overlooking the river and Tyne bridges. Probably associated with 1850s pub fiddler, James Hill, who wrote a tune called "The Free Trade". I suspect that it has not been re-decorated since then ;-) , don't let that put you off. Its range of beers is below.  |

 The Cooperage, In 1972 this was a cooperage, in 2007 a trendy pub, in 2011 the pub had closed. |
 The Beehive A traditional pub in The Bigg Market area, on the corner of The Cloth Market and High Bridge. Click here, for a full-screen 360° panorama of the area. |
 I tried to take a night-time shot of the Beehive, but a drunk came out and hassled me. He objected to my taking photos and started to mess with my camera, it was starting to get nasty, so I had to give up before I got my settings right. |
 The Ship, under Byker bridge, c.1973 I've not been there for decades. Is it still there? |
 The fashionable young people of the region prefer the sophisticated cocktail bars and coffee houses of The Cloth Market. |
