The Black Horse Inn, Settle

I was here at a time when the notice beside the pub door suggested that it would be open. The A-board near the church has been left there because it is fixed to a bolt in the ground by a rusty chain and even rustier padlock. There are weeds growing around the A-board that hint at a closure of months rather than weeks. The loss of this pub is a real shame as it looks like it might have an interesting interior and clearly has a place in the village, if only someone would take it on.

Reported closed on WhatPub, and was closed on a weekday evening earlier this month when I went by. There is still an A board outside though, so it may just be that they keep strange opening hours. Worth checking before making a special trip - consider yourselves warned!
