Great article. The Yorkshire Grey was a blast from the past. Huge pub with an attached function room to the right where they held unlicensed boxing matches. It was thriving in the 70s and 80s. I’ve drunk in the Square and Compasses too. Both times I was there they had very classy American music. Apparently there’s a word of mouth thing where US performers recommend the place to one another as a great holiday stop when they’re in the UK. They send the landlord a YouTube link and if they’re up to scratch the pub picks them up at the station and feeds and accommodates them. It clearly works. For an off the beaten track they punch well above their weight for entertainment.
