The Victoria, Durham.. Despite living on the County border with Durham in Stockton and passing through the town many times I'd never visited. On a great crawl taking in several worthy contenders I stopped off at the time warp that is the Victoria. Fyne Jarl was on but as this is so commonplace... I went for a pint of their Avalanche instead. Cocooned in the 1930s or so backroom I overheard conversations about train stops on the east coast main line and preston to Blackpool lines... Great memorable stuff.

I had a B&B overnight stay there in June 1986.It was a lot better than the tatty place in York where the Landlord was England's answer to Rab C Nesbitt.

Despite picking up six new pubs on the Sheffield meet-up, I'm looking to Newcastle for my POTM. The Cumberland Arms (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/36426/) had been on my 'to do' list for ages and it didn't disappoint. Rather different from how I imagined it, but the two beers I tried were superb. I could quite happily have settled down for a major session, however, the drive back to Yorkshire beckoned.

I'm going for a Sheffield pub the Wellington (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/43091/). It's been spruced up under the Neepsend brewery and does a good range if their beers,

The pub that really sticks in the mind from last month is the John Bunyan (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/14846/), out in the country at Coleman Green, south of Wheathampstead - a McMullen pub too!

More helpfully to most people, I'll give the Sheaf View (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/43365/) in the Heeley area of Sheffield a very honourable mention.

I think I've been there. The Wicked Lady at Nomansland Common nearby used to be a beer festival pub with a room at the back being converted to what is nowadays a micropub style cold room but with a counter and room for probably a couple of dozen casks. The John's Bunions was very much a side issue and I don't remember anything about it.
McMullen got rid of a load of smaller rural pubs in the 1990s, including the Moletrap (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/11807/) and the Carpenters Arms (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/11798/). A travesty!
