Local record

History of this pub

The Talpore stood on White Water Way beside the Tees Barrage, handy for riverside walkers and visitors to the white water centre. Its unusual name, and its nautical theme, came from a Victorian troop steamer: the Talpore was built in 1860 by M. Pearse and Co. of Stockton for service on the Lower Indus in India, could carry 800 troops, and drew only about two feet of water. CAMRA noted its large beer garden and children's play area, which made it a favourite with families.
