The Central is a Victorian public house in Gateshead, England, known for its hand-pulled ales, roof top seating and the building's period ambiance. Erected in 1854, it occupies a triangular lot on Half Moon Lane, with bench seating set along the interior corner at the apex. Built of coursed stone with ashlar dressings under a low-pitched Welsh slate roof, the Grade II listed building was originally commissioned as premises for Alderman Potts, wine merchant, and was converted into a hotel around 1890. - AsNotedIn
