Old Bridge Question?

[cciaffone]

A bit ago we were in Holmfirth for a week, and tried to
go to the Old Bridge hotel for a pint. The entire front space,
parking lot and all, was kinda torn up and being paved over,
mostly to the exclusion of automobiles -- as in No Parking.

We did barely get inside, and a fair bit of the bar area had
been taken over by coffee serving mechanisms and all.

Is the Old Bridge changing its venue? We used to enjoy a meal
there, and the odd pint. Not likely to be able to do that now.

What's happening???

Guess west Yorkshire is changing, and not for the better.

The Old Bridge used to be a nice pub for a pint and a bar meal.
Now it's getting swank.

Then there's also Brambles. Not really a pub, just a wine
bar that also serves a pint. Really sterile inside.

Let's hope that The Nook stays as it is for a while.

Their web site has changed since the last time I looked. The top line says "Inn and Coffee House". I don't recall the coffee house part of it having been there before. They still have substantial-looking meals on the menu, though. Although the web site doesn't mention rooms up front, when I went to "check availability" I found rooms available to reserve, but no photos.

It'll be interesting to hear about what you see when you're in town.
