John Smith's / Foster's, Stella |
Six handpumps on the bar but none were in use when I visited. Nicely decorated in standard sizzling pub style, doing a good trade in food on a Saturday afternoon.

Northway / Dover Road |
| Bar du Fay "Duffey" |
Marston's / 1664, Foster's |
An agreeably decorated wine bar - stone floor, wooden tables and bar front - where no-one was drinking wine, although they do have quite a range of bottles on sale. A tapas menu was on offer but the customers were too busy nipping to the bookie's next door to order any.
Strangely, there's a "wheeltappers and shunters" bell mounted on the wall.

John Smith's / 1664, Carling, Foster's |
Formerly two-sided but now knocked through, and there's a dance floor at the back. Plainly decorated and perhaps a little threadbare in places.
It's unusual nowadays to see a bookie's in a pub car park but it works here, with a number of customers shuttling in and out to place bets before watching the race on the pub's TVs.

 Tetley, John Smith's, Tetley / Budweiser (US), Foster's |
A pleasant two-sided 50s house, nicely looked after.
Someone once told me this used to be Sir Edmund Hillary's local, but I think he may have been winding me up. (Thanks, Ernie.)
Reportedly acquired by Wetherspoon's in October 2011.

Very nice old-style traditional decor in this large free-standing pub knocked through into one room. They serve a fine pint of Cask Tetley. LSTV. Food. There's a pleasant beer garden, but there were too many wasps when I visited!

Black Sheep, Jennings Cumberland / Carling, Grolsch |
Reputedly the oldest pub In Lancashire, dating back to 1320. A thatched building with three drinking areas all served from a minuscule counter in the corner. Two rooms have concrete floor and ancient rustic wooden benches, the third is more comfortable. Everywhere has low wooden beams, perhaps slightly marred by the sixties-style lampshades.
When I visited on a Saturday lunchtime I was the only customer.
Grade II listed building.
