A little bit of history about the opening of the Rising Sun pub, then known as the Rising Sun Hotel in Wallsend in 1938. I hope you will enjoy it and find it interesting. All photos used are my own.

Thanks for this Julie, they certainly seemed to go overboard with the decorations. I am down south and can remember a place just like this and always thought it quite hideous, they were very fond of sludge green.

Some colour schemes are indeed strange, green is my least favourite colour so I might have avoided anywhere with that colour scheme ha ha

Wow, this is BIG! All those hundreds of people. Must have been a really busy place 😊

Yes, it sounds huge, I wonder if it was ever "full"

My first 'Drinking hole'. I was a regular for a couple of years without incident, until, I turned up at the 'OffDoor' one night to buy a bottle of Vodka to replenish supplies at a house party. One of the people with me announced it was my 18th Birthday and that caused a few raised eyebrows and voices from the staff.....😁

Ha ha yes, I know of someone who had been drinking in a pub for a while then held their own 18th in the same pub. It wasn't me though ha ha

I am almost 100% certain I have never been in once. It still always looks busy today too
