The Oak Tree reborn The Oak Tree pub in Helperby closed in 2009, and it appeared likely that it would not reopen. However, the pub has been bought, extended and refurbished and is about to reopen as an upmarket gastro pub with rooms. The left wing of the building is entirely new, but built in a vaguely traditional style.

The  Oak  Tree  on  Raskelf  Road Our invitation to an excellent meal has it in Helperby but where is the "line" between that and Brafferton? I have kindly been informed by Gordon Hatton 8/4/20, almost six years after the photo was taken that I was stood in Brafferton and the pub is in Helperby. The parish boundary runs along the middle of the street in front of the pub!
