Having lost two neighbouring businesses, this post expresses my feelings perfectly.
We continue to work hard to provide the best healthcare that we can in a very difficult climate. Thank you to you all for your continued support.

A Message to Our East Boldon Community.

We are deeply saddened to hear of yet another East Boldon business closing its doors today. This marks the seventh closure in just two months, adding to a growing list of much, loved shops and cafés that have been part of our village life. Each of these closures is a loss felt not only by the business owners but by all of us as neighbours and friends.

A village is only as vibrant as the people who fill it. Unlike a city centre, we don’t have endless passing trade, we rely on one another. When you choose to shop, eat, and spend time locally, you’re not just making a purchase you’re helping to keep the heart of East Boldon alive.

We know that shopping local can sometimes feel fractionally more expensive, but the true cost of not doing so is far greater. If we don’t actively support our village amenities, we risk losing them entirely. And once they’re gone, they don’t come back.

At Blacks Corner, we have always seen ourselves as a community business, built for and with the people around us. But today, more than ever, we want to reach out and ask for your support, not only for us but for all the independent businesses in East Boldon. This is what community truly means: standing together to nurture and protect the unique character of our village.

Living in a village is something special. It’s what makes East Boldon unique. But unique can also be fragile. Let’s not take it for granted. Let’s cherish it, support it, and ensure that East Boldon continues to thrive for years to come.

We hope we and others around us can welcome you soon,
The Blacks Corner Team

We’re currently receiving a lot of calls from patients asking if there is a prescription ready for them to collect.

This obviously takes us away from the task of dispensing your medicines and offering the numerous other services we provide.

Did you know we offer a text messaging service that will alert you when your prescription is on our shelves ready to collect?

To sign up please drop in or give us a call on 0191 5367459

It's Allergy Awareness Week - a subject very close to my heart. It's so important to take food allergies seriously.
