Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Rebuilt in 1912. Leased by Robert Deuchar in 1926. He bought the pub in 1927 for £18,750. A five room pub (one bar and four sitting rooms) with single bar counter. In 1887 plans to combine the bar and two sitting rooms and enlarge the counter were refused because of the siting of the drains. The pub had a walled garden next to the Ouse Burn. It was a Newcastle Breweries pub in 1997.
