Knottingley was packed with Whitbread houses as Carter's Knottingley Brewery and their pubs had ended up in Bentley's hands in 1935 and thence Whitbread hands by 1972. The Knottingley I grew up in was awash with keg Trophy Bitter.<br />A well known BYB house Ron was the New Peacock right outside Elland Road football ground which used to have that characteristic "BYB" roundel and line "There's no better beer than BYB" on the gable end.Nice pic here: http://www.onemickjones.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4168Barbarrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371017377365069024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-53111070153570837312013-02-09T03:05:29.089-08:002013-02-09T03:05:29.089-08:00I've asked the question here: http://www.secre...I've asked the question here: http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=4626<br /> <br />There are also some good resources relating to Melbourne and Tetley pubs there when you get around to them.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815463789553175093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-53577180207708388422013-02-09T00:32:19.458-08:002013-02-09T00:32:19.458-08:00Ron
