| Alexandra |
/ Carling |
Plain but comfortable pub with a bar and large lounge in 1998, knocked through and redecorated with stained plasterwork and wooden floor by 2009. The rather good bar back is surmounted by a clock, and they've got a proper bell for calling time.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here on the jukebox.

Tetley / Carling |
A traditional two bar boozer, busy with friendly drinkers on a Sunday afternoon. Rather tatty in 1998, much better when I revisited in 2009.

Pedigree, Tetley / 4X, Carlsberg, Stella |
A large up market place concentrating on "big steak" food, with a Wacky Warehouse attached. Slow service on my visit.
No trace remains, the site is now a supermarket and a petrol station.

| New Wellington |
Worthington |
Closed for refurbishment in November 2003, since when it has been known as the New Wellington. A large multi-roomed pub in which the bar side is well cared for and nicely decorated. Friendly regulars. Peaceful on a Friday afternoon but large speakers held the promise of a lively Friday evening.

| Stables (Queens) |
own stuff / Carlsberg |
The Queens was a two sided pub with a pleasant two-room lounge side with an unusual shape. In 1998 I described the bar side as scruffy but in 2003 I found it very nicely done and well cared for.
Totally remodelled into a much more up market restaurant / bar called The Stables which concentrates mainly on fairly up-market food but also has a pleasant bar area. No keg bitter is available, just Stables Ale brewed by George Wright, which was somewhat past its best when I visited. They were quite busy with drinkers and diners on a Friday afternoon.
Closed in 2011.
