This sixties estate pub contains a nice large open bar side, plain but well cared for, with an LSTV at one end and a raised area with pool table at the other. The lounge side was shut when I visited. Now closed and demolished.

John Smith's, Webster's / 1664, Foster's |
Rather pleasant totally plastic decor in this long narrow one roomed bar, which has a small dance floor at the back. The flat TVs above the bar are impressive. It has a late licence and everyone out in Kirkby seems to come here when the pubs close.

Worthington / Carling |
A plain tidy council estate boozer, quiet when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. The theme tune to TV's Z-Cars, some of which was filmed in Kirkby, was an arrangement of an old sea shanty called Johnny Todd.

Higsons, Tetley / Carlsberg |
This rather pleasant plain working class pub with two bars is another 50s construction on this enormous council estate. It has comfortable bench seats in the bar and a nice lounge and was quiet and friendly on a Sunday afternoon. Unusual to see keg Higsons still available. Boddingtons Pub Company.

John Smith's, Tetley / Carling |
A classic plain late 50s estate boozer, still doing a good trade on a Tuesday afternoon. Only one room appears to be in use, in a much larger building.
