Pub

The Old Well Inn – not just a pub but a milestone in history.
The Old Well Inn in Barnard Castle is steeped in history, dating as far back as the 12th Century and is possibly one of the most historic pubs in the North East!

A few yards from THE OLD WELL INN stands the Buttermarket . The Market Cross – an octagonal shaped 2 storey building, now used as a roundabout for traffic.

This was built by Thomas Breaks in 1747 and has been used in its time as a Court, Jail, Town Hall, Fire station and a Buttermarket. There is a weathervane on the top of the building with two bullet holes through it. These were caused in 1804 after a Soldier called Taylor and a Gamekeeper called Cruddas who worked for the Earl of Strathmore at Streatlam Castle Estate decided that they would have a competition to see who was the best shot.

The OLD WELL INN was previously known as The Railway Hotel but even before this it was a hostelry.
