BELLE VALE

Bridge

Tetley / Carling, Heineken, Fosters

F902 J

Higsons beermats and a Higsons sign but no Higsons beer!  A large nicely done out lounge plus separate “games room” to the rear of this impressive 1920s building.  A big garden with an ornamental pond and pavilion must have been very nice in its day, but is sadly neglected and has now been taken over by a significant population of hens and ducks.  Live music‡.

Higsons, Boddingtons Gold / Carlsberg

F902 J

Pleasant enough somewhat faded sixties pub with friendly staff.  The nice beer garden includes an apparently empty aviary.  The lounge side was closed on my visit.

A large plastic two bar pub with nice decor.  Bowling green and beer garden to the rear.  Karaoke†.

A clean and tidy bar side with quarry tiled floor, bare brick walls and comfortable bench seats.  £1 a pint when I visited.

A scruffy exterior in a tatty council estate hides a pleasant bar and a plush, empty, lounge.

Seventh Vale

Tetley / Carlsberg, Labatts

F902 J

A typical two bar boozer with nice decor, situated in a run down council estate reminiscent of Poland!  Difficult to get to by car if you don’t know the layout of the roads on the estate. Disco… Live Music† Karaoke�

John Smith’s, Stones / Carling

G504

The only way in is hidden round the back of this ugly sixties construction.  Apart from the worn carpet the bar is nicely looked after and popular, the large lounge side was closed on my visit.  LSTV.  Posters warning that anyone caught taking drugs will be barred set the tone for the customers.
