Pub Names Question

Posted by AJG on 25/8/2025, 3:48 am

I was thinking today about the names of pubs in Hebburn, e.g. the Argyle Hotel, the Station Hotel and the County Hotel. Did they used to offer overnight accommodation, and if so, when did they stop doing so?

County was accommodation people well into the 70s maybe late 80s.

The accommodation more or less stopped when Miss Kinx opened in 1977
