Newcastle Quayside pubs based in a building which was the scene of a fire are expected to be open for business today, the owner has revealed.
Dramatic scenes engulfed the Quayside last night as emergency services descended on Sandhill, where a fire had broken out in the roof of a historic building housing a number of popular pubs.
Drinkers and staff at the Quilted Camel, Bob Trollope’s, Redhouse and Offshore 44 pubs were safely evacuated when fire alarms sounded shortly before 5pm on Wednesday. Police officers were called to support Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service.
