Fox and Duck pub, 174 Pye Bank Road.

Didn't they knock through into the cottage next door for this.

 

Yes they did, it was derelict for years it lost the cosy appeal after that and was never the same.

Some pubs that modernise is a good thing but not for that one.

I'm very suprised they knocked it down as a good builder/developer could have made that into a nice house

Hi there

Between about 1820 and 1852 my great great great great grandfather ran this pub - John Woodcock, he died in 1839 and his son, another John Woodcock, took over until his death in 1852.

So it was pretty old!!

Can't imagine it was a Tetley's Pub then.
