This is a classic image of what has always been, to me, a classic pub. It’s not the closest pub to where I live, but it’s my local. It doesn’t have the fanciest range of real cask ales, but I’ll forgive it. It’s undoubtedly idiosyncratic, but so am I. My picture shows a 1911 celebration at the Rock Tavern, Upper Edge, Elland. There will be another celebration there next Friday (the 15th), when the Friday quiz returns after a six years absence. I can’t guarantee the sheep will be there … but I will be.
