Historic Interest
Originally called the Earl Grey and standing on the corner of Rekendyke Lane and Commercial Road. It was opened by Esther Lumley in 1841. Earl Grey was the famous politician who was responsible for the Great Reform Act of 1832, which gave some of the middle class the vote. Operating as a Beer House Esther Lumley had the pub until 1865 when she was prosecuted for having spirits on the premises. The original fine was to be £50 an enormous sum of money it was then reduced to £12, still a lot of money then. The Earl Grey was rebuilt about 1920 and then became a Lorimer and Clark pub which was part of the Vaux empire. It was Vaux pub until 9th November 1989 when Kenneth (Ken) Carrick Taylor opened the pub as the first dedicated Real Ale pub in Shields. He named it the Dolly Peel he was Licensee until 2001. Thanks to Terry Ford
