An historic Tynemouth pub that took “one hell of a beating” in Storm Arwen can once again be seen in all its glory after being shrouded in scaffolding for the past three months.
The Gibraltar Rock overlooking King Edward’s Bay had stood up to the worst the weather could throw at it for more than two centuries until Storm Arwen hit on November 26 last year.
The storm, which carried a rare red weather warning, battered the North East coast with winds consistently in excess of 90mph, ripping off much of the Gibraltar Rock’s pantile roof and smashing windows.
