They still sing the carols in the Black Bull.The Griffin was a nice pub , as was the White Bear off photo to the right . It had a great darts team which I think once included World Champion Dennis Priestley .
The Black Bull served a lovely pint and was noted for the singing of local carols at Christmas , led by Ike Baxter , a local cricketing legend who played for Whitley Hall well into his sixties .
Brian Gloag and Albert Rodgers were the White Bear's stalwart darts players.
Joe Cocker once turned up and sang in the upstairs concert room. Bert missed it.
