This article appeared in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle on Tuesday 12 January 1937 in "The Northern Outlook by Eldon". The piece records the death of John Minto Emmett and mentions that the original Blue Bell Inn in Byker (a short distance from the current Blue Bell) was at one time run by the Minto/ Emmett family. John Minto Emmett's father was Charles Emmett and the grandfather mentioned was Robert Minto, both direct ancestors of the present Emmett family.
The Christopher who "steers the George" mentioned in the piece is the father of Christopher "Kit" Emmett and therefore grandfather of the Emmetts of Mindrum Terrace generation and great or great great grandfather of the successive generations. See Family Tree. The John Mackay who drew the sketch of the Blue Bell Inn and who is "a relative of William Emmett" is likely to have been related to Dorothy Mackey, wife of Robert Minto, and great great grandmother of the current Emmetts of Mindrum.
