The Yew Tree, Otley

A pub on Newall Carr Road, which became a Tetley's pub in 1974. The interior in a traditional style earns it a place in CAMRA's regional listing. The building is also listed by Historic England (Grade II, entry 1200479). According to the listing, it was originally called Yew Tree Cottage and described as an 18th century block of cottages, 'now partly demolished and much altered'. This is slightly at odds with CAMRA's description that describes it as a former farmhouse. The Union flag was flying for the forthcoming Platinum Jubilee.
