The Bede's Ale House on the corner of Priory Road and Cloister Walk in Jarrow (demolished late 2003) Private flats have since been built in its place. It had only been under that name for a few years From the late 1960s when it was built, till about 2001 it went under the name of The Duke of Wellington ('the juke') As a matter of interest the original Duke of Wellington this pub replaced late 1960s was situated round the corner in High Street a few hundred yards away (that part of High Street is now renamed Cloister Walk)

Dist:0.3km<br/>The building illustrated here is based on one excavated at Thirlings, near Wooler in Northumberland. It was the central building of a cluster group which was built in the 6th century AD. This was possibly the residence of a local landowner. It has a spacious, open-plan interior.
