The Building
The Chain Locker was originally a malting house for one of the watering holes in the area, the building became a pub in 1904 and was known as The Crane House until renamed The Chain Locker in 1986. The original glazed tiled signage for The Crane House was revealed during restoration and is a nod to the areas history for Ship Building and Repair where thousands were employed in the Smiths Docks where cranes would have dominated the skyline. There has been a brewery or inn on the site since the days when stage coaches took ship's passengers to and from Newcastle when the tide prevented sailing upriver. 15 apartments now make up The Chain Locker residence, and the original 100-year-old building forms the striking Edwardian tiled fronted centrepiece of the development.
