The excellent brewery historian Ron Pattinson has turned his attention to Bentley's, and asks the question what happened to Bentley's pubs after the Whitbread takeover in 1968: http://barclayperkins.blogspot.co.uk/20 ... 1959.htmlI know that there is Bentley's memorabilia in some pubs in Leeds, including the West End House and some of the Market Town Taverns such as Town Street Tavern in Horsforth, but where Melbourne pubs had their courtiers, some of which still survive, what identified a Bentley's pub and do any survive in Leeds?
