Help needed about the Mason Arms at Westerton
« on: Sunday 16 May 10 21:22 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone could help me, my Great Great Grandad was the Innkeeper of the Mason Arms at Westerton between Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland.
I would like any information on the pub and if all possible I wonder if anyone has any pictures or where I might be able to find some at.
His name was Hunter and he was the Innkeeper around 1879 till approx 1881.

Thanks Vera

Hello, I now live in this pub which is now a house.  Did you have any luck finding out any information as I would also like any history on our house.  I do have a very old photo but other than that have not been able to find out much about where we live.  Anything you could provide would be great.  Kind regards, Lyn

Hello

I have a copy of Bob Hall's book "Public Houses of Spennymoor & Neighbourhood  The Mason's Arms features on page 42.  I could scan the page for you if that is any help.  It gives details of known licensees and there are two photographs.

HI, I have a relative who lived in the Quarryhouses opposite in the mid-40s to early 50s. Any photographs of the area would be greatly appreciated.

Hi It looks like my ancestors were the "publicans" here - 1901 Census. Would love a photo, as many of my other ancestors were born in westerton and probably had a pint or two here
