Grindon Chare, Blue Bull Public House

In the late 1840s Mrs Pickering was producing 14 half-barrels per brewing. The public house was advertised in the early 1850s with a brewery and two corn lofts under the ownership of Bells, Robson & Co and the Tyne Brewery Co, before passing to William Younger of Edinburgh. In 1891 it became the property of W.B. Reid. It closed in 1904.
