Description
The Boathouse Public House is a public house dating from around 1830. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with pecked ashlar dressings and quoins, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features stone gable copings. The building has two storeys and three windows. The central entrance consists of a joined boarded door set in a stop-chamfered alternate-block surround. The ground-floor sash windows are paired and have chamfered surrounds, while one first-floor sash window is boarded up and another has glazing bars. A ground floor string runs along the base of the windows. The roof has triangular-section gable coping that rests on moulded kneelers, and the left chimney is corniced. The right quoins are marked with flood level indicators from 1856, 1830, 1815, and 1771. A plaque from Tyne and Wear County Council on the left side commemorates George Stephenson's connection to Water Row pit, where he oversaw a new pumping engine from 1798 to 1801, with his father serving as fireman. Notably, the flood of 1771 reached unprecedented heights and caused the destruction of Newcastle bridge.
