Seven Stars	Greenalls / Carlsberg, Foster's	The compact plain slightly tatty bar side was busy with friendly regulars when I visited. The other side of the pub is a larger and much posher lounge, also popular. LSTV. Last visited 2004.	Millbrook Lane / Kiln Lane
Stanley Arms	Bass, Directors, Greenalls, Tetley	A typical "olde worlde" country pub with the usual collection of old bottles, plates and horse brasses on display. Partially knocked through but still providing a number of separate drinking areas, as well as a conservatory, and a restaurant in a modern extension. The bar meals menu looks good and the restaurant, with a separate menu, seems very popular. Last visited 2004.	Gillar's Lane
