Historic Interest
The Gin & Ale house was originally called The Albion Inn and opened in 1859. It later became The Albion Hotel and was owned by the Vaux Brewery. In the 1970's it was known as The Albion and then the name was changed again, this time to The Jarrow Crusaders by Vaux after the famous march from Jarrow in 1936. It was taken over by Jess McConnell in 2014 and became part of the now defunct Jarrow Brewery and was renamed McConnell’s Gin and Ale House.
