A Seahouses harbourside pub has been snapped up by a growing Newcastle leisure company who beat a number of offers from rivals to secure the lease.
The Olde Ship Inn, known for its maritime memorabilia that celebrates the Northumberland village’s rich fishing heritage, was initially part of a farm and was first licensed in 1812.
The Glen family has been custodians of the inn since 1910 and have invested heavily into the pub, 12 guest rooms and a new beer garden.
