William Stead submitted several articles to the Northern Echo, which were so well received that, in 1871, he was offered the editor's chair without ever having set foot inside a newspaper office. He was in charge at the Northern Echo for nine years, before moving on. His new journalism paved the way for today's tabloid press. One of the most influential men of his age, Stead was one of the 1,500 or so passengers who lost their lives on board the Titanic, in 1912.

Range of beers and classic pub food in an airy chain tavern with bare-brick walls and wooden floors.

As we were out working with our group of children I asked if it would be ok for us to come in. I explained some of our children had special dietary needs & could they eat their own food if us staff ordered food and coffees. There was no hesitation in accommodating us & we were made very welcome. Very happy customers, thank you
