The Scarbrough Arms at Tickhill is one of 129 hostelries featured in CAMRA’s latest publication, Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs.

The guide highlights the 17th century pub’s unique barrel room, believed to have been fitted out in the 1940s, in which all the furniture is made from barrels.

A CAMRA spokesman said: “The purpose of the book is to raise awareness about the relatively few genuine historic pub interiors that are left and the need to take great care of them.”

Launched in Leeds by Member of Parliament Greg Mulholland, chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Save the Pub Group, on January 28, Yorkshire’s Real Heritage Pubs is £4.99 from CAMRA’s web site, www.camra.org.uk.
