Some interesting pubs that were new to me last month:

The Garibaldi in St Albans
The Devonshire Arms and The Three Cups in Bedford
The Old Gate and the excellent Fox and Goose in Hebden Bridge

My pub of the month was the even-better-than-that Masons Arms in Todmorden. A very good range of well kept and mostly local beers, a roaring fire on a chilly evening, and quite clearly an asset of value to the community which it serves.
