A Gateshead pub has been forced to close after losing its roof during Storm Malik.
Station East, which is tucked under the railway bridge in Hills Street at the end of the High Level Bridge, only opened two weeks ago but already it has had to stop serving until further notice after suffering significant damage during the weekend's storms.
Landlords Doug Musgrove and Edward Robson, who took over the tenancy this month and also run The Lane Head in Ryton, said the pub remained open over the weekend until they were made aware of the damage by a railway passenger.
