Peter, Post codes for Stevenson St, West & East, South Shields ....NE33 4AG NE33 3PN The Fighting Cocks pub was/in Albion Row. I am adding a Blyth perspective to the Newcastle pubs reminisced about earlier by listers ..... As I was growing up in Blyth in 1950/60s, my old grannie warned me not to go to Newcastles as the "toonies" would do me harm. She thought they were all ruffians and pickpockets. I wonder if we have been hearing from some of them. So I stayed in my home territory to frequent the posh pubs in Blyth.(e.g. Prince of Wales, Golden Fleece, The Buffalo, The Waterloo) Michael Dixon
