The Wheatley Wells at Wheatley is closed and up for sale. The Travellers Rest at Greetland is scheduled to get real ale on soon. Long Can in the Wheatley valley, which was once the Webster’s brewery visitor centre and has been derelict for several years, has just opened as a pub and is accessed from Pellon. Our branch area now has two Greene King pubs – the Moorings at Sowerby Bridge and the Fleece at Barkisland.

Hebden Bridge: B@r Place, the Inn on the Bridge and the Hole in the Wall all have guest real ales. The Railway has added Castle Rock Harvest Gold to its range.

Luddendenfoot: the Black Lion is closed.

Mytholmroyd: the White Lion is shut.

Ripponden: the former Queen Hotel has reopened as the Honest Lawyer following a much needed external facelift and an interior refit. Cask beers are currently Taylor’s Golden Best and Landlord accompanied by Moorhouse’s Blond Witch. A guest beer from local microbreweries has also been available - quality of all has been excellent.

Sowerby Bridge: The Stirk Bridge is shut. The William IV is shut but there are apparently plans to reopen it as a food-led pub with real ale. The Church Stile at Sowerby is due to reopen.

Todmorden: The Black Swan is Shut. The Pulse has a local guest beer. Updated: 24th Dec 2009 - It was reported in CalderCask that the Golden Lion was closed, this is incorrect and is fully open. CAMRA Apologises for the misprint.
