The Tap & Barrel was situated at 86 Newport Road. This pub is now used as a restaurant.

This building has totally different memories for me as it was my fathers tobacconist shop in the 1950’s. He owned ‘Adams Tobacconist’ at 97 Newport Rd and opened this shop as ‘Smokers Corner’ ot long before his sudden death at the age of 43 yrs in December 1960 leaving a widow and four young sons. My Dad was Councillor Bill Adams, Chairman of ‘Teesside Parents and Friends of Spastics’ (later renamed ‘Scope’)
