Wagon Inn, Gateshead

[ksjcott]

Does anybody have any information about the Wagon Inn, Gateshead?  My Great Great Grandmother's brother-in-law was Innkeeper there according to the 1881 census. 

The address is given as 216 High Street, Gateshead.

Does anyone know if this still exists?

I have found reference of a Waggon Inn on Galloping Green Road, but have no idea if it could be the same one.

Any info. would be gratefully received.
Thanks

Looking north, towards Newcastle, the Wagon Inn was situated on the west side at 214-216 High St, Gateshead.

In various directories it was run by;
1890.  Wagon Inn. 214 and 216 High St, Gateshead. Ralph Crow.
1914.  Wagon Inn. 214 and 216 High St, Gateshead. Wm Drummond.

Later I believe it became a Littlewoods departmental store.

Many thanks for that.  The photo is great!

I was hoping for something a little more romantic than a Littlewoods, but I guess that's family history for you

I'm trying to unscamble the family and other residents living at the Wagon Inn in 1881. It appears to be a complicated setup! In particular I would like to rule out Patrick Burns as being the Patrick Burns from Upper Killeavy, Newry, Armagh, as listed on the IGI, but it's not easy. There seem to be at least two Patricks in the area of Gateshead who maybe married sisters called Mackin. Any thoughts on this one?
Thanks, Chris.

Hello,

I am looking for any information regarding the family of Patrick Burns especially his parents and his wife. Patrick Burns known as Paddy was said to have an irish accent and married to Elizabeth (maiden name ?). I know he was in Gateshead 101 Peareth street from around the birth of Catherine Burns daughter born 03.05.1900. Catherine had several siblings Thomasena(Ena), Elizabeth(Lizzy),Alice,John(Jack),Francis.

I saw the complicated set-up of the Wagon inn and have been thinking that this could be the right link for Patricks parents. One thing stuck out to me is that the family appear to be living near the highstreet. Could i be going down the wrong path as i see there were a few other Patricks in Gateshead.

If anybody can help I'd appeciate it.

Many thanks,

Francesca
