Re: Is The Fleece still the best pub in Haworth

just browsing the web and came across this KBGS forum.
This item brought back memories. the pub was once run by my 'aunt' Mary and 'uncle' Billy Gallagher. They were friends of my parents since their courting days. They were running the pub at the time that "The Railway Children" was being filmed and a few of the stars of that film stayed at Th Fleece. They enjoyed their time there so much that Bernard Cribbins inserted a line in the script of something like "See you at the Fleece later" as a kind of thank you for the hospitality. So "The Fleece" must be known worldwide!

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1951-1957

Current location (optional) Sydney
