Description

The Punch Bowl public house is a popular local landmark and reference point. The original building on this site was part of the Minories Farm complex; however the present building dates from the 1870s, when it was rebuilt in this impressive Scottish Baronial Style. It was constructed using sandstone, and covered with a welsh slate roof with ironwork detailing. The pub became the property of Newcastle Breweries in the 1950s. LOCAL LIST
