The Cross Keys Public House - Dunston
The Cross Keys Public House, on Ravensworth Road has had and has see many changes over the years. The building is one of Dunstons finest building after its refurbishment in the late seventies.
The Name Cross Keys, was a common sight prior to the Reformation, being the emblem of St Peter. Later the sign had a significance when watchmen kept guard throughout the night on behalf of the community.

Hi
My grandfather was the publican at the Cross Keys approximately 1912, his name was either George Robert Moffat or Robert George Moffat. Do you have any further information on his time there and where he moved onto??
thanks, Heather Atkinson
