No it isnt.Your picture shows what I think is the last incarnation of 'Websters' logo - different font, an apostrophe and the little'w' man has gone.The name now belong's to John Smiths/ Courage who took them over , but the brewery in Halifax (fountain head) closed in 1995 or 1996. - Beers continued using the Webster's name brewed at John Smith's in Tadcaster for a time but I think even this has stopped now. ( it was never the greatest beer it must be admitted - althought the hand-pulled 'Yorkshire Bitter' could be quite nice if kept properly. I remember having some reasonable sessions on it at the 'Rosebud' in Carlton many years ago.

I remember having some reasonable sessions on it at the 'Rosebud' in Carlton many years ago. First game of Rugby Union I played was against Huddersfield YMCA and I was gobsmacked when we got our tea (potted meat sandwiches and onions in vinegar) and free ale - Webster Pennine Bitter (whether it was the same beer and Yorkshire was a rebranding I couldn't say) but on handpump in the Dusty Miller pub in Huddersfield that afternoon it was brilliant,

I seem to recall an animated version in a commercial...Anyway onto the question.I don't suppose you've managed to sneak behind The Peel by any chance?? They had a similar sign up a few years but recently it's been inaccessable(or so I thought!) No - you're right that the Peel had Webster's signage(I believe the Peel was originally owned by Hey's - a Bradford brewer taken over by Webster's) -but this aint it!
