Three Tanners Bank is a historic public house located in the heart of North Shields’ fishing village. Originally built in the 18th century, it derives its name from the tanning industry that once flourished in the area – specifically, the three tanning pits that stood nearby. The building has undergone various renovations over the years but retains much of its original character, including exposed brickwork and low ceilings. In recent years it has become a recognised venue for live music, particularly showcasing local and regional artists with a focus on folk, acoustic and roots genres. It's known for its intimate atmosphere and connection to the local community.
