It's open if the name's in red,
Go get a pint, with a frothy head.
If its name's in brown,
It's gone..brown bread...dead

One of the stopping places for mail, up until 1844 when the railway started carrying mail, was this pub. The pub was known as Red Robin's, which was the nickname of the publican Robin Rogerson
He had a sign with a picture of the pub, and these lines:
"Red Robin lives here
Sells good wine and beer
Pass you East or pass you West
If ye pass here, ye pass the best"
Robin Rogerson was the first Red Robin and, per Thomas Wilson, the second Red Robin was his son Phillip. Next, came Margaret Stephenson, the married daughter of Phillip, who called herself Red Peggy. An additional claim to her fame is that the nearby road down to the A1 is officially called Long Bank but, to this day, is nicknamed Peggy's Bank, where, as a girl, she played
Next came, in 1843, Isabella Stephenson (''Red Bella")
Here are subsequent publicans

The Crown was situated at 512 Durham Road in Low Fell. It first featured in the Trade Directories in 1847 and was later taken over by R. Deuchar Ltd in 1933. It was a common Victorian past time to become members of pub's horticultural and flower societies. Records from 1853 describe a full set of winners for the Crown's popular Flower and Vegetable show. Many of Gateshead's beer-houses were converted dwelling houses consisting of no more than a single room in which to serve people. This often depicted a poorer end of the public house market, but however this terracing did not always mean a lesser class of establishment, especially where, like the Crown, the pub is located on a main road. As part of a re-branding many old pubs have tried to take a modern approach to hooking in a new trend conscious crowd. The Crown had its name changed to Bar Mondo in the early 00's. It has more recently gone through another re-branding and was reopened in December 2013 as "The Tap @ Carter's Well" referencing the close proximity to the historic Carter's Well. Irrespective of recent rebrands, to some it will always be The Crown.

Cup and Coins
See Last Orders, the current name of the pub once called Cup and Coins, then Balmoral Tavern, then the current name. Cup and Coins named for this event. In 1812, in Heworth churchyard, a clay pot containing twenty three coins was discovered. Eventually, these very authentic, seeming"ancient", coins turned out to be a hoax. Here's a ditty wot I wrote
There's a great long illustrious list
Of Famous Felling Folks
Including the genius creator of
The Heworth Hoard Hoax
A new pub chose Cup and Coins
That name really said it
Unfortunately, that's the only thing
The pub had to its credit
It's now on its third name
No doubt it'll change again, quite soon
May I make a suggestion?
The Last Chance Saloon
(This was meant to be sarky...but actually it's a great name)
It is now called Brandling Inn
