An article I have just read(1) says that The Fleece in Farsley is the last pub owned by Tetley, as well as being one the original two bought in 1890. That's rather notable, if not in a good way. The last time I went in it didn't even have keg Tetley's so I may have to pay a visit soon.1.

I think that probably should read "was" as I believe it has been owned by Punch Taverns for a number of years

I thought that couldn't be right, and indeed it is a Punch managed pub (which means you'll probably never get a decent pint of anything in there). It would have been an interesting anomaly if it was true.
