A Pint amidst the ruin

The Cricketers Arms, Coney Lane, Keighley.

 

Grade II Listed, dating from the early 1800's. Originally called the Sportsman until 1874 when it became the Cricketers Arms.

 

The pub sign is of Sir Len Hutton, Yorkshire CCC 1934-55, and England 1937-55.

 

OBIT: A beacon of hope in a sea of dereliction, I was deeply saddened to find that it closed for good on 12 March 2022.

 

Further update, 15 February 2024. The entire building and surrounds have been demolished. And so The Cricketers is no more, just a pile of rubble on the floor.
