YORKSHIRE (NORTH) - Harrogate, Gardeners Arms Yorkshire Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Bilton Lane, Harrogate, HG1 4DH Tel: 01423 506051 Listed Status: Grade II In a rural valley setting at the very edge of suburban Harrogate, the Gardener's is an old-fashioned alehouse of rare quality in these parts, occupying a delightful little early eighteenth-century vernacular building - stone-built, with stone-mullioned windows, stone-flagged floors and stone slate roof. Though it has moved with the times, developing its food and beer-garden trade, what changes there have been internally have had little effect on the basic layout of the original house. The two principal rooms are, as they always have been, either side of the old central entrance corridor. The lounge, to the right, has solid walls and we can guess that for many years this was the publican's own private 'best room'. |
