Before the motorway was put through the A1 went to the west side of Durham.
There were three prominent landmarks in the area. Travelling north there was the The ■■■■ o’ the North pub ( now houses and flats) then the traffic lights at Nevilles Cross and then this pub, which as long as I remember was called the Pot & Glass but apparently when new was the Neville Dene. It is now a Sainsbury Local.
Maybe some of the slighter older ones on here can remember it !!
TynesideThe Neville Dene changed its name to The Pot and Glass in the late 1950’s, taking on the name from a previous pub that had been a few hundred yards away. It was in this establishment that I developed the taste for beer.
Cheers!
The ■■■■ of the North was a very well known watering hole. The yearly A&G Xmas lunch was held there, for the Durham branch. Nevilles Cross had an Adam’s and Gibbon’s car lot there (second hand cars,the East side of the lights) and we also kept a few Bedford chassis cabs there (stock) The Pot and Glass was very handy for a shandy at lunchtime
