This hotel was built in 1938-1939 and the license transferred from the Glasgow Arms across the road to this hotel, also to be known as The Glasgow Arms In 1939 the Newcastle Sun reported: The Glasgow Arms Hotel at Carrington is to be demolished and a new modern hotel erected an another site at an estimated cost of £8500. Permission to do the work was granted to the licensee, John James Lachlan Stevens, by Mr. T. W. Cohen, at the Newcastle Licensing Court to-day. It is proposed to remove the licence from the present site at the corner of Cowper-street South and Young streets to another on the corner of Cowper-street North, Young-street, and Cowper-street South. Archer C. Castleden, architect, produced plans of the new hotel and said that it was to be built just across the street from the old premises. The existing hotel provided a requirement in the neighbourhood, but the new one would do it more adequately. The cost would be £8500, and it would take 12 months to build. The old hotel was 63 years old and in a dilapidated condition

The hotel catered for meals for waterside workers., George Marsden, stevedore said the hotel was about 200 yards from the inner basin at Carrington. Every class of people visited the hotel for meals. The hotel was required for the convenience of the locality. Frank Silva said he had had the hotel for thirteen years and had been hotel keeping I the district for twenty five years. In connection with coal loading it was a common thing for ship’s crews to have their meals ashore at the hotel particularly so, the Union Company’s steamers crews. Despite several good recommendations, the Clyde, was one of 23 licenced premises closed under the Licence reduction act in 1921. In 1924 the Mission to Seamen purchased the de-licensed Hotel with the intention of opening a Seamen s Club which would be run in conjunction with the Chelmsford Institute at Stockton.
