    When we go on holiday to Flamborough, that's the site we use. The kids loved it when they were little and you can take dogs there, too. Rarely gone in the clubs, though.

    Yeah, but before that it was the Penny Farthing I have been reminded....God there were more pubs in Tarn than shops...or so it seemed..and don't forget Changes, although I never went in there.

    No Penny Farthing was its modern name when Tommy Fisher had it in the 50's it was apparently the forerunner of the later nightclubs and it was called the wine shades originally.

    sorry i tell a lie, according to e c tasker's Barnsley Streets from 1825 to 1837 it was called King William IV 1841 to 1972 wine shades then penny farthing to closure. I've got the books by me so if anybody wants to know dates names for pubs in the town centre shout out.
