The Ship Inn is a popular and attractive traditional working class pub located in the heart of the Ouseburn area, lying beneath Byker Bridge. In the past it was popular with the local abattoir workers. The building was originally part of a terrace in Stepney Bank which was destroyed during the 1930s (the 1898 Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area clearly shows the L-shaped terrace). It has been designed relatively simply. It has two storeys and an attic above with two dormers. The ground floor has large windows with painted stone lintels and sills. The façade is brick and the west side has been rendered white on which has been painted a large mural of a sheep's head by United States street artist, Gaia Link.
