Hi Dasher,
Thanks for your suggestions..
I have tried,
Tyne and Wear Archives services,
Gateshead Council Libraries,
Durham County Council,
Newcastle Local Studies Centre,
Beamish Library,
Durham Records Online,
all with no luck, though didnt have the name Nelson Inn, only The Engineers Arms but did have the address of 3 Nelson street and the Globe Inn only had a Chatham Road address, so maybe I will email again with different addresses/names.
I also emailed the man from the pub site a few weeks back and had no reply.
Where would I find a victullars lic.? for my McGurks.
When I found out my McGurks ran pubs, thought fantastic, easy, I'm laughing.. well wasnt I wrong!! That will teach me!
Thanks again.. have a nice day/night.. Ele.
