The Town Wall is a charming public house and eatery on Pink Lane. Just a short walk from the Central Station, this Grade II listed building boasts a storied past, having once been the home and workplace of Thomas Bewick, a famous Northumberland artist, naturalist, and engraver. The pub’s name, The Town Wall, is a nod to the historical significance of its location, which was part of the original fortified wards of the city, dating back to 1280.
