The Gosforth Hotel is one of Gosforth’s oldest pubs and has served as an important stopping point on the Great North Road since the 19th Century. This attractive and well designed two storey stone building still retains many of its original features. It was constructed in 1878 with a buffet bar being added in 1891. In 1900 the property was bought by Arthur’s Hill Brewery. The exceptional tiled façade was added in 1913. LOCAL LIST
