The North Easts closed Pubs 2011 Wolsington House North Shields

Opened In 1902, Its situated next to the entrance to the former Smiths Shiprepairers.

There probably weren't enough customers to keep the Wolsington House going once Smiths closed. Sad to say, the town has seen its pubs severely decline in the last 20 years. The High East End used to have seven pubs 30 years ago, only one is left now.

it's still empty. Another well known old pub, The Alnwick Castle, seems to have closed down. The decline in pubs in North Shields has been dramatic in the last 20 years and I reckon over half have gone.

I remember drinking in this pub in my younger days (20+ years ago). Seems a great shame thats its been closed for a long time. Hopefully might be re-furbished and re-opened if the local houseing development goes ahead. Thanks for posting.

Great if a micro brewery went in here & put great food on & live music 👍🇬🇧. I live in hope.

Passed it recently and suspect it would cost a small fortune to reopen.

@@ALANSVIDS1 Amazingly after 20 years of no activity the latest pictures inside show it to be in rather good shape The place has been sealed up tight for a good few years apparently
