This pub closed c1966 when it was demolished to make way for a new road. The brewery that supplied the beers and presumably owned it at that time was Camerons of Hartlepool. The last landlords were Jack and Mary Todd, who transferred to The Rose Tree at Shincliffe, another Camerons house. There were two public rooms: bar and lounge; the lounge was licenced to serve drinks to people who ordered food after the bar had closed as it had a supper licence. Sandwiches were served here. Beers served were Strongarm and Best Bitter.
