In this impressive building the very nicely decorated large two-part lounge has eleven dartboards around the walls. (Luckily ten of them are purely decorative!) The plainer bar side is also well looked after.
When I passed in 2008 this appeared to be closed.

John Smith's, Tetley / Carlsberg, Foster's, Stella |
A nicely decorated pub partially knocked through but with low walls and wide pillars to break up the space. LSTVs, a pool table and a small dance floor provide youth-oriented entertainment. There's a nice beer garden at the back.
In 1660 Richard Legh of Lyme in Cheshire bought Newton from the Fleetwood family and became Lord of the Manor.

This was closed for some time but had re-opened by April 2000. Rather nice wood floor and (fake I think) antique decor in this friendly pub, knocked through into one room with some nice comfortable sofas at one side.

Outside this looks like a small street corner pub, inside there's two bars, side rooms and a large function room at the rear, all nicely done out. They serve a fine pint of Tetley.

Real ale is served in the bar, which is open to non-members. The function room hosts an annual beer festival which I can recommend.

Very nice interior decor with wooden floor and old wooden tables in this "Festival Ale House" with a good selection of real ales and a menu that looks good value. There's a large beer garden and children's play area.

John Smith's / Becks, Carling |
When I visited this nicely decorated two bar pub in 2003, it was in dire need of some care and attention and looked rather tatty in places.
Returning in 2010 I found it still fairly plain in decor but now spotless and well cared for.

Friendly pub with a nice interior with splendid tiling. A traditional layout in which the two room tastefully decorated lounge side is served from two "bay window" hatches at the back of the bar.

A plain bar with a pool table, and a nicely decorated lounge featuring a clutter of the usual jugs, plates and antique pots and pans. The LSTV is not obtrusive. The bar food looks good. Not visited since it was renamed.

John Smith's, Tetley / Carling, Foster's, Stella |
A plain friendly bar side with pool table and darts, and comfy sofas, plus a well cared for lounge. The back garden looks very nice.
Arriving at about 8 on a Monday evening I was startled to find this place buzzing with locals - One tends to find back-street pubs like this are getting quieter and quieter, but not this one.

An enormous multi-roomed two bar beautifully done out pub. There's a function room upstairs and a children's playground in the back garden.
I came close to a major faux-pas here by sitting in the dominoes corner, but fortunately I finished my research before the players arrived.

Boddingtons, John Smith's / Carling, Foster's, Stella |
A rather pleasant boozer where the music stops and everyone looks round when a stranger walks in - I guess not many outsiders (Other than pub-guide researchers) ever travel to Vulcan Village! One large traditionally decorated open room around the counter, plus a pool room. Some pictures of the Vulcan Foundry and its products are on display.
