Birch Hall Inn, Beck Hole.
Been top of my CAMRA Heritage pub bucket list for such a long time but finally conquered and didn't disappoint.
A timeless, rural gem with adjacent sweet shop hidden deep down in the Murk Esk Valley of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Foley Meir 3-6 Runcorn Town. NWCFL Div.1(S) Att: 88
A rollercoaster of a match in a dank corner of the Potteries. The visitors surrender a three goal lead before restoring order late on through a hat-trick from ex-Chester youth player Tom Ruffer.
Splendid chips and curry.

Gornal Athletic 3-3 Lutterworth Athletic. Midland League Div 1. Att: 88
An under threat non-league classic. Surrounded by evergreens and housing with a colossal crumbling steeply-banked concrete terrace. An eventful game. The visitors denied victory thanks to the Peacocks' injury-time leveller.

Pub Sign of the Week: Wyandotte, Kenilworth.
I'm tempted to say this must be the only pub in Britain let alone Warwickshire to feature the name of a Native American tribe.
It's actually titled after where the builder of the pub's son settled in Michigan. Put that in your peace pipe and smoke it.

Painting of the Week: "A Man With A Pint" - Frederick Elwell (1932)
A fabulous piece of work. A charming depiction of a chap doing what an increasingly few of us like to do, popping down to a friendly local for a proper beer and a read.

Lye Town 2-2 Bedworth United. Northern Premier League Midlands Division. Att: 117.
The visitors are fuming with themelves as two injury time goals rescue an undeserved point for the Flyers.
Due to sharing with a cricket team, an intriguing two and a half sided ground with nice barrel-roofed end.
