Yorkshire Grey, 2 London Road, St Leonards

St Leonards pub history index

Originally the Saxon Shades until about 1884. This is the Yorkshire Grey until at least 1915, and became the Admiral Benbow in 1995. I have no idea what this closed down pub is used for today, nor do I know who took the decision to repaint this attractive old pub in such a truly dreadful colour. ***
