Public Houses
Killingworth has four public houses (and there are two more in Killingworth Village).
- The West House, originally called the West House Inn, is in West Bailey. It was built from a derelict farmhouse and barn (see early history 1793, West House farm was occupied by an original landowner together with Whitehouse farm which is now converted to private housing in Westmoor) – this in the style of an old Northumberland inn.
- The Station public house is on the industrial estate to the west of the town. It was originally next to the Killingworth railway station, which was demolished some years ago. The railway still runs by the Station pub, with a level crossing within 50 m of the pub.
- Killingworth Working Men's Social Club (in East Bailey) was built in the 1970s and located next to the Town Centre.
- The Shire Horse, situated next to the White Swan Centre, was opened in May 2010 on the same piece of land as a new KFC. Run by Marstons, it has a popular carvery and selection of real ales.
The two public houses in Killingworth Village are:
- The Killingworth Arms (originally a hotel) is located at the top of Killingworth Bank
- The Plough Inn, situated in the centre of Killingworth Village opposite the entrance to the park
