The Poorhouse is a new Café & Bar located on Great Ayton High Street. The building itself dates back to 1786, and is the original Poorhouse of the Village, making it one of the oldest buildings in Great Ayton.
Independent Teesside was forged from a desire to celebrate all things independent throughout Teesside. What started as a social media page shining a spotlight on some of our favourite places to visit, evolved into a movement that actively encourages Teessiders to support the independent businesses which are the heartbeat of our home.
