Old style

Being *ahem* temporarily without Sky Sports, a trip to the Fox on Valley Road was called for to watch Leeds' punishment become complete on Sunday afternoon. Not the best pub in the world by any means, and pretty standard John Smiths 'Smooth'.

A quick walk up to the Park Tavern on Arnold Road which has been done up since I was last in a few years back. Some of the photos on the wall left a bit to be desired for some in our party !!!

Down the hill to the decidedly closed looking Old Pear Tree, again no decent beer, but a very well looked after place just off the beaten track.

Before a last one in my old local, the Vernon Hotel. Looking a bit run down, clearly the last (in a very long line of recent) landlord decided to strip the pub of some of its more long lasting decorations, including specifically the pub sign picture that hung outside the gents for as long as I can remember going in, at least 13 years.

Bring it back !
