Hebburn Pubs @ Clubs of Yesteryear

[colin]

Hi quizzy, I don't think we are talking about the same Argyle here. The one that billy was on about was just a youth club, down School street flats, But I have heard someone mention The Argyle pub, I will have to do some research on that one.....

Your right Billy, but I,m not sure when the name was last used.

From what I can remember, it may have been on it's decline by then. I seem to recall that the downstairs was all that was open to the public but, we used to live upstairs & I remember that there was a huge room, with a bar at one end, that my brother and I used to kick the ball around in.

Now, exactly how big this room was may just be down to my imagination, as I was around 4 at the time. However, I have some very vivid memories of being in the bar, with a bottle of Pepsi & a paper straw, entertaining many of the regulars, by being able to recite all of the different beer bottle labels.

I had heard that further down the track, it changed it's name to The Ship & had it's roof blown off at some stage. Not too sure if that's completely true or not.

Welcome to the Hebburn site ...and what a smashing post...omg I remember paper straws...lol...9 times out of ten mine ended up all yuky in bottom of bottle..lol..memories magic
