Ship

About us

The Ship Inn was built as a farmhouse by Thomas Mills, for the Mills family of Monkseaton. The original building was situated slightly to the east of the Ship Inn as it is now, on the junction of Lyndhurst Road and Percy Terrace. It was in the late 1700's that the original farmhouse was converted to become an ale parlour.

1923

demolished for a rebuild

The Old Ship Inn was demolished n 1922, replaced the year after with the present building, at a cost of £5,100. This was commissioned by the Northumberland Brewery Co. Ltd., who were also owners of the Monkseaton Brewery. A prominent stone plaque was erected above the door reading: “1688 – Ye Olde Ship Inn. Rebuilt 1923”.

2013

the pub of Monkseaton

Fast forward nearly 100 years, and The Ship has seen plenty changes, most recently under the management of Vikki and Jonnie who have transformed the pub into a social hub for the Monkseaton community, coastal dwellers and passers through, after a tasteful and very welcomed refurbishment of all the bar, the lounge and vibrant beer garden.
