The Angel Inn was situated on The Square. On the same plan as the abbey the buildings are all Grade II Listed. The extreme right hand building was possibly a silver refinery and retains part of medieval monastic outer court range in the form of a small window and the front and rear walls. Remodelled as part of the rebuilding of the village started in 1752, it became the Angel Inn. Little mention is made in my early directories of Blanchland but in 1855 and 1858 I find, Thomas Green (& Joiner) at the Angel Inn. My 1894 directory and after have no mention of the Angel. The balance of the houses are all from the 18th century rebuilding with later alterations but incorporating some of the medieval fabric. The deli, that closed July 2012, was formerly the village stores that supplied petrol from the rear of the building in Back Lane. The small rectangular building is a Grade II Listed pant (Local dialect term for a water supply) built in 1897 by public subscription to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.
