SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

stevief wrote: There's a pub chain called 'Tap and Spile'.I haven't seen one in Leeds but there's one in York,Harrogate and Whitby. When a barrel is first opened, it is "tapped." A "spile" is a primitive valve to release excess gas from the barrel. My grandad was a cooper.

Hello,I never knew that The Scarborough Taps had been the site of a music, I did wonder about the history of the pub sign which now explains the reason for it and why .Very interesting to learn this .
