YORKSHIRE (NORTH) - Boroughbridge, Three Horse Shoes National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One Horsefair, Boroughbridge, YO51 9LF Tel: 01423 322314 Listed Status: Grade II A small-town brewers tudor roadhouse whose revival is a recent success story. Sold in 2003 by its long-time family owners, it was closed for three years and narrowly escaped conversion to a chinese restaurant. But thanks partly to its statutory listing (successfully applied for by CAMRA in 2000) it has re-emerged relatively unscathed, apart from losing original fitted seating and sustaining two enlarged openings between rooms (one now sensitively hung with double doors). Its preserved layout and fittings, which include quality oak bar structures, oak fire surrounds and excellent stained and leaded glass, are all from the original 1930 rebuilding scheme by Hepworth & Co, a small Ripon brewery for whom this would doubtless have been a prestige project on what was then the Great North Road. (Architect Sydney Blenkhorn of Knaresborough) |
