The Monkey Pub, near Barnsley
Appearing on maps from the turn of the (last) century as The East Field Inn, The Monkey is a classic English Country pub, and famously featured in Last of The Summer Wine.
Sadly the demolition has already taken place so there is no saving this one. South Yorkshire’s cyclists will miss this halfway house between Barnsley and the Peak District.
I sincerely hope this undervaluation of pubs to cultural heritage will eventually be recognised by the planning system. Every pub in the land would generate a huge pay-out if the land is redeveloped for residential use. The market would see them dropped relentlessly, and so planners must do their job and protect assets that benefit communities and culture against market forces.
