A large brewers Tudor pub, opened out inside and made multi level at the back. Three pumps on the counter in a back corner two being used, all the national standard kegs are available on 4 T-bars and some solos. Mad old mix of decorating styles and furniture, the owners are probably not sure what it’s meant to be and I guess the students don't mind. The banner outside saying Welcome Back Students gives a clue to the intended demographic (they failed, I wasn't the only oldie). Table numbers are stencilled on not the usual brass inserts. There's a big pull down screen over the counter with a few others here and there, there's a gaming machine and a photo booth plus obligatory music.

The Hyde Park is a large decent looking pub that is set by a busy road junction. I thought this pub would be a bit quieter after getting a bus and seeing it so i had to do it,but it was not. Once inside there is a large room on the left side which has normal tables and chairs plus a pool table,the right side has tall tables and chairs. There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Elland Chinook which went down very well,the other beer was Doom Bar. Despite it being so busy,i thought this was a decent pub to end my crawl in.
