Wallsend pub landlord reflects on his 22 years behind the bar of The Rosehill Tavern

In his 22 years as a landlord Bob Patterson has seen many local pubs vanish from the area. But despite a number of challenges through the years, he's proud to see his pub still serving the local community today.

Construction of the The Rosehill Tavern, in Wallsend, started soon before the Second World War. Bob explained that at the start of the war building works stopped and the site became an air raid shelter.
