Pub	Beer	Comments	Location
Buckley's	Boddingtons, Tetley, Trophy / Carling	In the style of a social club with a large clean and tidy bar and an even larger nicely decorated function room. Late licence at the weekend. LSTV. (I.O.U. one biro!)   Karaoke   Live entertainment   Quiz Last visited 2003.	50 Sefton Road / Wilson's Lane
Cookson's Bridge	John Smith's / Carling, Carlsberg	This one room knocked through canal side boozer is nicely done out and kept clean and tidy. LSTV. Last visited 2003.	Gorsey Lane by the canal, Ford
Coronation		Not visited.
Jubilee Inn	Bombardier, Tetley	This pub has a beautiful interior with five or more separate rooms, all nicely decorated and well cared for. One room has a pool table, another has bar skittles and a piano, with an LSTV in another. Last visited 2003.	41a Hatton Hill Road / Appleton Road
Kirkstone		Not visited.	Moss Lane / Kirkstone Road
Liverpool Arms	Tetley / Carlsberg, Stella	This is a classic boozer for the local people, popular and lively with a children's party in one bar and a singer in the other when I visited on a Bank Holiday afternoon. Pool table. LSTV. Last visited 2003.	77 Gorsey Lane / Kirkstone West, Ford
Ma Kent's	John Smith's, Worthington / 1664, Carling	An impressive exterior and a wonderful inside with a nice floor mosaic in the hall and fine wood panelling in some of the rooms. The main attraction, however, is the most amazing collection of antiques and bric-a-brac I have ever seen. You name it, they collect it - ship's propellers, film star busts, Darth Vader helmets, bus ticket machines, musical instruments, ancient tools, tram controllers (and a driver's jacket) - the list is never ending. Well worth a visit despite the plastic beer, and make sure you visit all the rooms. I believe the owners and their collection moved here from a pub on Scottie Road. LSTV in the back room. Last visited 2004.	Linacre Road / Hapsford Road
Mount Hotel		Not visited.	Galsworthy Avenue
Netherton Hotel		Not visited.	Church Road
Priory	Tetley, Tetley	A nicely decorated rather plastic pub in the Q's chain, concentrating on food - burgers, wraps etc. and pool. The cask Tetley was mediocre when I visited. Beer garden. LSTV. Last visited 2003.	64 Sefton Road / School Lane
Railway	Tetley, Trophy, Worthington / Carling, Heineken	This large plain two-sided free standing house has a rather worn but clean and tidy interior. Last visited 2003.	Bridge Road, adjacent to the station.
Red Lion Hotel	Double Diamond, Tetley / Carlsberg, Stella	This very large brick and carved stonework construction contains a comfortable bar, plain but well cared for, with a pool table and LSTV. The rest of the interior appeared closed when I was there. What does "RB" stand for, carved in the stonework?   Karaoke Last visited 2003.	121 Bridge Road / Church Road
Salt Box	Tetley, Worthington / Carling, Stella	The very large knocked through lounge side with pleasant uncluttered decor incorporates an LSTV and a darts area. I didn't try the bar side, but it looks nice as well, and has another LSTV. Last visited 2004.	Linacre Road / Catherine Street
Stand Park Hotel		Not visited.	129 Sterrix Lane, Ford
Tut 'n' Shive (White Horse)	Boddingtons, Trophy / 4X, Stella	A large knocked round pub with the usual Tut 'n' Shive decor, perhaps not as quirky as others in the chain were. Pool table. I am told this has now CLOSED to become a KFC. Last visited 2003.	Hawthorne Road / Princess Way
