Dear Roychatts
Thank you very much for your question about Barnard Castle. The best thing to do would probably to look through the censuses and trade directories for Barnard Castle as a starting point to finding out more about the coffin maker and cobbler. If can do this at the Record Office. Please have a look at our website for more details on how to book an appointment or on using our research service:

As to finding out more about the pub: it might be worth contacting the Archaeology Department at Durham County Council. The Historic Environment Record might contain further information about the building and its history:

I hope that this is of help!
All the best
