County Hotel, Gosforth High St

Found the following text on a historical site:
Quote
The building has been listed as being of historical importance since 1987, but its life started as a private dwelling in 1826 for the then notorious Bulman family. They were land owners and some say extortioners; all agree that they were feared in this area. In 1866 the building was converted into a pub with four bars by its new owner James Stark

This is the County Hotel that they are talking about and I believe the Bulmans are part of my family. I'd love to know if anyone has any information on this building or its occupants. I suspect a census lookup would probably be easiest, but I don't have the exact address and it may be that a relatively prominent building might well feature separately. I'm rather excited about the prospect of being related to notoriety. Makes a change from hundreds of Ag Labs, no matter how dignified they may have been in their labour.
