PUBS & CLUBS

This section includes photos of our pubs and clubs, many of which have closed for instance the Waterloo was opposite St. Paul’s Church and the Queen’s Head was in the Centre where the Café and Mandy’s now operate from.  The Travellers’ Rest was originally known as the Drovers’ Arms and is now (October 2022) the only pub in Evenwood.  We will upload photos as and when time is available.  Click on the title below to view photos.
