Show on mapThe Ship Inn is a Grade 2 listed building built in 1932
This fascinating photo shows a half-built Ship with the original still in place
The mock tudor timber framing originated from the battleships HMS Collingwood and HMS Southampton.
The 1882 HMS Collingwood was scrapped by Hughes-Bolckow on the Tyne in 1909.
The 1820 HMS Southampton was also broken up by Hughes-Bolckow at their new Battleship Wharf in Blyth around 1912.
Hughes-Bolckow also made furniture from ships, such as these chairs from the Collingwood.
Shame they pulled the old place down, it looks to have been a more interesting building than 30s ‘Brewery Tudor’
