Sinatra's, 31 Holmeside

The earliest reference to 31 Holmeside has been identified in Kelly’s Trade Directory for the County of Durham in 1910 where the building is listed as Maynards Limited, Confectioners. The last reference to the building being used as a confectioner is from 1935, although there is a gap in the archive between then and 1952. The building was subsequently owned by ED Walker & Wilson between 1952 and 1963. From the 1980s, the building has been used as a public house. The single-storey brick building is associated with an embellished art deco / neo classical façade located on the north facing gable. In the middle of the arch there is a stylised badge of the American singer Frank Sinatra.
