To make matters worse National Express have rejigged the timings from Nottingham to Leeds meaning I now get into Leeds 50 minutes later than I used to.
It was the usual start from Nottingham on the later 08.40 National Express bus to Leeds which is now due to arrive at 10.50, luckily it was a bit early, so a quick walk to the main bus station and find out where the 770 and 771 services to Harrogate go from, I found the stand quickly and had to wait about five minutes for the bus to turn up,i got a day ticket so i could use the service during my pub crawl. I overheard the driver talking to another driver saying "these buses could not take the skin off a rice pudding". Yes, the journey was slow and on what is the most uncomfortable bus I have been on in a long time.
I finally arrived at my starting point for the crawl,Wetherby a town I have wanted to do for a while. There were pubs very close to the small bus station where the bus stopped. I got into my first pub just before 12 so I had to make haste to get all of Wetherby's pubs done before catching another bus to Boston Spa.
Wetherby
1: Bar Three

Bar Three had the modern looking battleship grey colour,but i was not bothered,i just wanted to get in and have my first drink of the day.
It seemed a decent enough pub with a modern look to it inside,there were two real ales on,i had a drink of Leeds Pale which was a decent drink.
Luckily Wetherby is a fairly small town and most pubs are quite close to each other,so not too much walking.
2: New Inn
 |
| Photo taken by Alan Winfield |
A really nice looking stone built pub with some nice hanging baskets outside.
This was a proper pub inside,just a single room which is carpeted,there was comfy bench seating which i like and small stools,food was being served but you could sit anywhere.
There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Tetley Cask which was a decent drink.
3: Black Bull
 |
| Photo taken by Alan Winfield |
The Black Bull is probably slightly better looking than the New Inn,another stone built pub and more hanging baskets outside.
It is carpeted and has comfy bench seating and small stools,there was also some normal tables and chairs.
Four real ales on,i had a drink of Copper Dragon Golden Pippin which was a very nice drink.
After a short walk i found a narrow street and a pub/bar that was not on my list to do,so i had to do it.
4: Sir Dukes
 |
| Photo taken by Alan Winfield |
A bar and Grill that looks like it was converted from two stone cottages.
It was quite nice inside with a single irregular shaped room which had normal tables and chairs,which i presume were for diners,there were tall stools to the front and around the small bar,so i sat at the bar.
There was only one keg font which had a beer called Dazed and Confused from Bad Beer Co,the abv was a bit higher than i prefer as i was on a pub crawl,but i thought i would have a drink of it as this was a new pub to do,the drink was decent but the price was shocking at £4.50 for a two thirds of a pint glass,i now know why they call the beer Dazed and Confused,i was.
5: The Mews
 |
| Photo taken by Alan Winfield |
A decent looking stone built pub that is set sideways onto the road,it looks as though i could have been converted from other use at some point.
There is a single room inside which has a modern look,bare boarded,there is some bench seating.
There were six real ales on,i had a drink of Oakells Bitter which was a nice drink.
The pub was far too quiet for my liking,i like distractions like background music and TVs showing sports or music videos.
I was now going to take the short walk to Wetherby's furthest flung pub which was less than a five minute walk and i passed the Swan & Salmon along the way.
6: Royal Oak

A nice looking pub with a long frontage,the hanging baskets also looked nice,shame about the pavement replacement works.
There was a single room inside which ran the width of the pub one half for drinkers the other for diners.
There were three real ales on,i had a drink of Collingham Blonde which was a decent drink,there were TVs on showing the Olympics.
It was a quick walk back to the middle of Wetherby to pick up the remaining pubs left to do.
I had been told the Angel is no longer a pub,i took a quick look through the windows and could not see anyone drinking,there may be a bar upstairs though,the Brunswick was also not open and was up for let,so i now only had two pubs to do,i had enough time to do both and get a bag of chips with scraps on.
8: Red Lion

A decent looking pub situated at the end of the High Street.
It is split level inside and carpeted,there is comfy bench seating.

A nice looking stone built pub.
The pub had two separate rooms inside,i had a drink in the lounge which was carpeted and had comfy bench seating and small stools.

I was now almost done in Wetherby a town i really liked,it was time for my chips with scraps on while waiting for my bus to Boston Spa.

I liked the look of this stone built pub from the outside,it may have been the pub sign that helped.
Once inside the pub had a decent sized lounge that was carpeted and had comfy bench seating and small stools,plus some normal tables and chairs,the bar was a lot smaller and had bench seating.
This pub is a Samuel Smiths tied house,so i was well pleased in doing it,three Samuel Smiths tied houses in a row.
There was one real ale on which was Old Brewery Bitter,this was a decent drink and very cheap.
I now had to walk back towards the middle of Boston Spa and see what pubs i could find there.
12: Stew & Oyster

A small looking pub that looks like it was converted from other use.
There is a smallish single oblong shaped room which is bare boarded,the seating is some puff stools,Settees and normal tables and chairs and a few tall tables and chairs.
There were five real ales on,i had a drink of Thornebridge Lord Marples which was a very nice drink.

A small bar that does some decent freshly cooked food,though i did not try it,as i was here for the beer,there is a small split level room which has a few normal tables and chairs and a couple of settees.
There was one real ale on which was Pedigree,this was a decent drink.
The background music playing was good and the food did look good.
One to take the wife to.
I now had to decide whether to wait ten minutes for the 771 bus to Clifford or walk down Chapel Lane and do the Albion which is not on the bus route,i opted to walk and in just over ten minutes i was in my next pub.
Clifford

I got slightly lost in this small village and was not sure where my bus to Bramham would stop,i decided to walk up past the Bay Horse and to my luck the 770 turned up as walked round the corner to the bus stop,a short bus journey and i was in Bramham.
I walked past the Red Lion and did the uphill walk to get to the Swan.

A nice looking stone built pub.
This pub seemed unaltered inside with four small rooms,i had a drink in the room to the front left which had a small bar in it,the room was carpeted and had bench seating and small stools.
There were three real ales on,i had a drink of Ilkley Mary Jane which was a very nice drink.
The pub was fairly busy and quiet background music was playing.
A really nice pub and worth the walk uphill.
It was a lot easier walking back downhill to my next pub.

This pub is a Samuel Smiths tied house,there was one real ale on which was Old Brewery Bitter,this was a nice drink.
This is a pub i could settle in for a few.
The bus stop is next to the Red Lion and i only had a couple of minutes to wait and the 771 turned up.
On the way up to Wetherby i had gone through Thorner a really nice looking village and i spotted three pubs so i decided to do this village that was not planned.
I had an hour to do three pubs so no rush here.
Thorner

| Photo taken by Alan Winfield |
A white painted pub that says pub and restaurant on its outside walls.
The pub has been opened out into one large square shaped room which is divided into different areas,has different types of seating and is part carpeted and bare boarded.
The pub has had what looks like a big makeover and has probably made it worse in my opinion.
There was one real ale on which was Black Sheep bitter which was decent enough.
This seems more of a dining pub now,but it was empty on my late Saturday afternoon visit,all very sad.
The worst pub of the day by a long distance.
After another short wait i was back on a 771 bus back to Leeds and hopefully time to get a couple more pubs done.
The journey back was not too bad and i had sussed out where the best seats were to get more leg room.
Leeds /Holbeck
I got off the bus before getting to the bus station and walked towards the Calls.

I had to go down some steps to get to the bar,the room was dimly lit and had a tiled floor,the seating was bench seats and chairs.
There was one real ale on which was Leeds Pale,this was a decent drink.
A very pleasant bar,one to take the wife to.

| Photo taken by Alan Winfield |
A Leeds Brewery tied house that i thought looked quite nice from the outside,it was just as nice inside with drinking areas on two floors,i stuck to the ground level room which was fairly busy with Leeds bright young people.
There was a good choice of Leeds beers on the bar,plus a couple from Thornebridge brewery,i had a drink of Leeds Best which was a very nice drink and the last of this pub crawl.
It was a short walk back to the bus station for my National Express coach back to Nottingham.
This was a great day out pub crawling,i visited five different towns or Villages plus Leeds,i did five Samuel Smiths tied houses which i was well pleased with and all but two pubs did real ales.
I saw your comment on Retired Martin's blog and thought I'd offer some tips/advice that may help you get more viewers.
ReplyDelete1. I'd make the pictures larger (X-Large) and when it gives you the option of Properties (Next to caption when you select the picture while editing) add the name of the pub, place and year/date. When people view your blog and hover the pointer over the picture this text will show up...but the best reason for doing this is, I believe, that Google likes this and will help get your pictures further up the page when searching for images.
2. Think about layout and font. Mine is centre justified, yours might benefit from full justification across the column. Also, I'd change the size of the Place and Pub name, make them bold and lose the underlining. Again, I believe that Google likes Bold text.
3. Are the entries too long? I sometimes wonder,with some of my longer entries, whether people will read them all to the end (I know I have a very short attention span these days!!) You may want to split them into two parts a few days apart.
4. Post them to Twitter and Facebook (if you have accounts). This just helps with visibility
5. and this is a bit controversial. You may see a red button on the right hand side of my blog www.pubsthenandnow.blogspot.com which links to blogsurfer.us This is a blog roll and means that you get hits and views from completely random people from all around the world. 99% won't read your stuff, but the reason this is worthwhile is that boost your site's activity which is good for the ego, but more importantly is good for Google.
Those are some ideas, I'm sure other people will have different ones. I would encourage you to keep on with it. We all have moments where we wonder why we do it, but they soon pass with a few comments or seeing your pictures on the top line of Google images!
Good luck
Thanks for your advise Peter,
DeleteIt seems a lot to take in at the moment and i do not do facebook or twitter,also i do not understand point one,on point two i use the second largest font size that is available to me,i may try the bold text that you suggested.
I do not have a red button on my blog so not sure how to get one.
Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me out Alan.
Yes, it was a bit of an info dump, but I had to put it all down aotherwise I'd have forgotten it!!
DeleteI'll try and clarify point 1 - when you are in edit mode (i.e. writing a new entry or editing a previous one) and you add a picture it will give you several options along the bottom (sometimes top!). If they don't appear, single click on the photo and you will get size options (from Small to Original), placement options (Left - Centre - Right), Add Caption, Properties, Remove. I must admit, in my early days I didn't pay too much heed to them!
I'd suggest you have a bit of a play with one of your older blogs, or next time you are writing a new one.
I'd assumed that you used the Caption option when you added your Copyright to each picture!
By adding the Pub name, Place and Date/Year to the Properties the Google 'bots' that regularly crawl every website will pick up on this and rank your site more highly!
As far as picture size goes it is personal preference. I'm a photographer, so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I use X-Large for mine (I think Retired Martin's are a bit too big...but don't tell him I said so!!)
As for your font - it is fine for size - I just made the suggestion to look at font/layout so that you could look again at how the page looks. Many people on the internet (and I include me in this!) will take a superficial look at a page so it needs to be attractive on first glance.
Have a look at other blogs that you like and see how they've laid them out. There's no right or wrong way, but you can gain an idea as to what works and what doesn't. (I can't claim to be an expert because my blog isn't as widely read as many, but I do know the value in making it more appealing visually!)
At the end of the day it is Your blog and your style, but it never hurts to have a look around and nick little bits from here and there (in terms of style!) if it would improve your blog and fit in with who you are and what you want from it.
Sorry, I've rambled on again, but I hope that makes a bit more sense.
PS One thing I've noticed is that you have too many lower case I's in your text! Just a small point, but you'd be surprised how many of we pedants trawl the internet!!
I have altered the size of the photo of The Ginger Goose in Bradford city centre and have now found out how to add the pubs name and date visited when you hover over the photo,my copyright is just added underneath the photo and i copy and paste it onto all photos taken on that post,this does not show up on the photo of the pub when you click on it,would i be better adding it when i do the pubs name and date visited.
DeleteThat is two things i have learned,please let me know if the photo size is ok,i now have to sort the bold text out for the town names and pub names.
The alterations are on my first post in 2015.
Many thanks for your help on this.
Well, to my eye the bigger picture is better, but as I said, I'm a photographer! I do think that as you've gone to the trouble of taking the photo (and I must say you've documented some fine pubs throughout the years!) you might as well give it the best exposure possible.
DeleteI noticed the justified text as well as some bold. How you use those is up to you, so have a play around to see what you like best and then stick to the style. In my blog, the individual pub is the main subject so I put the different dates in bold, just to draw the eye to them. In yours, the pub and place are important so I think you've chosen correctly to highlight them.
One final point, that I've not mentioned before - can you do anything about the white column/block to the right of your text. Personally, I'd like to see it coloured in, because as it stands at the moment there is too much blank white as you scroll down the blog. It will be in Layout that you can change it (I think!) but it is so long since I set mine up I'm not sure how you'd do it!
This blogging lark is a fine balance between what we (as bloggers) have to say and what the readers (the great unwashed masses!) want to read about. The trick is to maintain our own voice whilst appreciating what the reader might like to read about.
Keep on crawling!!
Thanks for your advise Peter,
DeleteNo i do not know how to colour in the white blank bit on the right hand side.
I have no problems with making the picture bigger,but changing text size seems to take a while to do,but i will try on my next post which will probably be next week,also do you think i should continue to add the text to the photo like i did on the Ginger Goose.
Thanks for taking the time in helping me out with this.
Ime going up to North Nottinghamshire on Saturday to pick up some far flung pubs that i have not done in my home county.
Thanks Alan
All the things I've suggested are better done on a new blog entry - it always takes ages to retro-fit any wholesale changes!
DeleteYour font size is fine for the main body of the text, maybe bigger for titles (or maybe just bold for titles). You can assess how it looks when you're doing it by using the Preview button.
For the pictures I'd suggest; yes, same size as Ginger Goose. For background text (Properties) I'd simplify it to Ginger Goose, Bradford, 2015 (the full details are always in the main body of the blog entry). For the Caption I'd enter © Alan Winfield so that it comes as part of the picture.
Remember to check your mods using the Preview button as this really does show how the finished blog entry will look.
At the end of the day it's your blog and you put in what you want and what you think looks best, but if you can do that and attract more readers then that's great. I look forward to your next trip!
I have done a new small post about some of Nottinghams closed pubs today and have redone my last post on Wetherby,i have tried to take all point i understood and added them to the blog,i hope you like the revamped look Peter as it took a while to do,i will attempt to other posts when i have time.
DeleteThis advise has helped me.
Alan, I too come from RM's page and am a long distance reader. I love this stuff and second Peter's comments. (To be clear, we all want you to succeed!) My main suggestion in addition to Peter's is to develop comments like this more: "More modern than old but i quite took to this place." The more you let us into your thoughts the more engaging this becomes. It takes a long time to develop a voice, but I have seen the other writers to it: RM and Simon. Old hands I have come to too late to see them find their voice: Pubcurmudgeon, Pattinson and Tandleman. Even more detail about why your wife would like a pub is the stuff that pulls us in. Keep it up. Dave
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave for your comments,
DeleteI have only been doing the blog for just under a year,i think it is improving as i go along but i still have a lot to learn about blogging,i will try and do more comments on what i or my wife think about the pubs we go in.
Cheers Alan
Alan, I thought I also would chime in here. I just recently bookmarked and started reading your blog. It does take me some time to read because I map out the pubs you visit. In addition, I go back and read the past blogs, all in the attempt to catch up. The information you provide, along with other bloggers is the kind that helps Dave and me plan future trips to England. It also helps that you visit some pubs that we might not have planned to visit but after reading your description, may get added to our list. I end with a question about the name of your blog. Are you a Dylan fan, by any chance? He is, and has been, on his Never Ending Tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comments Richard.
DeleteNo i have never liked Bob Dylan,i am more into Pink Floyd and also like indie music.
I also did not click that both you and Dave were from abroad.
Many thanks for taking the time reading my blog Alan.
Not only are we both from the states, we are brothers. I do like the name of your blog.
DeleteThis is nice that you both get on together,i also get on very well with my brother,going up to North Nottinghamshire on Saturday to pick up some pubs i have not done there yet with him.
DeleteI thought of that name with no help,as i have been doing pub crawls since 1981 and logged everything down since May 1982.
Do not take to much notice of what pubs i do,as i go in any pub whatever it looks like or what beer is sells,those that Retired Martin go in are in the best 5000 in the country,so should be pretty good.
Once again thanks for reading my blog Alan
You do a great many pubs in one day. Impressive. I will enjoy reports about all the pubs you visit. 'Tis a visit to England from afar. Thank you for sharing it.
DeleteHi Alan,
ReplyDeleteRetired martin drew my attention to your blog after I dragged(?) him into my local The Old Star, Clifford, which he promptly blogged about https://retiredmartin.com/2017/01/30/sam-smiths-quality-in-clifford/
Your stamina is admirable, 23 pubs in one day! Next time you are around in NE Leeds, give me a shout and I'll come out with you. Although I don't think our excellent 770/1 bus service is at all uncomfortable, I would have directed you to the First bus X99/98 Leeds to Wetherby direct service to commence your trip, saving you a good 20 minutes on your outward journey. A West Yorkshire Day Rider (£6) is the order of the day, unlimited travel across the WY Metropolitan area.
You are correct about The Muse (name slightly changed recently), it was previously a restaurant, most famously the Cardinal in the late 70's early 80's, it is also the best pub this side of Leeds for both quality and range of beers. I'm glad you enjoyed the Sam's pubs, although there is no such thing as a Sam's tied house, they are all brewery owned with (poorly) salaried managers. One of the last tenanted Sam Smith's houses was actually the Old Star, Clifford, it reverted to a managed house when Jack Billingsby retired.
You missed one of the better pubs, The Pax, Thorpe Arch. The bus stops directly outside. Beer quality is good and they usually have at least one Roosters OTB. They have recently started brewing their own beers under the name 'Little Shed'. Again you are correct with Stew and Oyster, for many years it was the local branch of Halifax Building Soc. There's a review on my own site about it - ouhouse.wordpress.com
I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion on The 'Top Pub' at Bramham (White Swan), although you appear to have misspelt Bramham several times as Brabham, there are no racing car manufacturers in these parts! The beer quality is sadly very variable in this virtually untouched, gem of a village boozer.
I would have given Sir Dukes a wide berth, it is solely a restaurant, although they now have a sister venue in Boston Spa called Tom Foolery, which is a café bar style place with a nice range of craft beers that are sadly, more expensive than Leeds city centre.
The Bee Hive was indeed a very busy proper boozer once, a Tetley house, and a big favourite of people from town who fancied a ride out into the villages for a pint. Your summation is correct, it is not a pub anymore, it's a restaurant. The last time I went in for a quick pint, I was made to feel unwanted as a non diner. The same people own The (food led) Swan & Talbot in Wetherby and The Chequers at Bilton, nr Wetherby. They call the guy Pratt (enough said?).
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to the eastern villages of Leeds and like I say, if you come out here again then give me a shout!
Many thanks for reading my blog and leaving a very constructive comment.
DeleteI will amend the Brabham spelling mistakes,i had lots of trouble getting my head round how the spell the name of the village correctly.
I did pass the Pax on bus and it was on my list to do,but i decided not to do it after clocking three pubs in Thorner on the way up.
I have just started to use the West Yorkshire Travel card but it was for rail and bus and cost me £8,does the Yorkshire Day Rider just cover buses in the area and can you buy it on any bus when in Leeds city centre.
I am not sure when on that side of Leeds again as i have no pub crawls planned for that area yet and not sure if there would be enough to do.
Cheers Alan
Hi Alan,
ReplyDeleteThe WY Metro Day Rider is valid on all buses for unlimited travel across the WY Metropolitan area on the day of purchase and can be bought on the bus for £6 from the driver. Make sure you get a WY day ticket and not the bus operators own ticket which are not transferrable between operators. For e.g. the First bus day ticket is only £4, but can only be used on First bus services - you couldn't have used it on the Harrogate and District 770/1.
Have you done the City centre to Rodley walk along the Leeds Liverpool canal? Lots of pubs to go at, including the awesome Bridge at Kirkstall. I blogged about the walk and a couple of pubs last year, or maybe year before? You can go 'off piste' into Farsley and Pudsey or Horsforth and visit some really good boozers with judicious use of the bus.
Have you done Otley and Ilkley? Only famed for most pubs per head of population in Uk, sadly down to low twenties now, but still plenty to go at for a small and pleasant market town. The X84 gets you to Otley and Ilkley and is quick and frequent, easily done in a day from Leeds.
Regards
Richard.
Hi Richard,
DeleteI have done Otley and Ilkley doing all open pubs in both towns,i loved Otley.
Not done Rodley from the city centre,so not sure how many pubs it would include.
Thanks for the WY Day Rider info,that will be a big help when planning pubs crawls in the area,i have only used the First day ticket round Leeds and Bradford.
Cheers Alan
