Pettigrew Arms
While trying to fill in some of the detail in my family tree, I came across a report in the Morpeth Herald of 23rd January 1909 that one of my ancestors, William McCloud, was charged with Breach of the Peace at the Pettigrew Arms, North Broomhill. I thought that I new the “North End” pretty well but I’ve never heard of a pub by that name.
The Broomhill Hotel was trading at least 10 years prior to that date so it doesn’t seem likely that the Pettigrew Arms was the original name of that establishment. Anyone else got any ideas?
