NEHL - A quoits ground was situated adjacent to the Guide Post Inn from the beginning of the 1890s at least. Several newspaper reports reference the ground as a prominent hub of Quoits in the area. In September 1891, a match took place between Dowse of Washington and Thompson of Wrekenton. In 1894 a handicap promoted by Mr John Mayor at Thomas Davis' Guide Post Inn features a large tournament with a "large company of spectators".

The ground was likely on the pubs south side, where the extension has now been built. This would prove a perfectly sized area for a quoits ground to be laid.

References to Quoits at the Guide Post dry up into the 20th century.
