The Ring Of Bells, Shipley

Tidy roadside boozer

Listed on Camra's regional inventory of historic interiors, mostly for its window decoration (some of it reproduction), ceilings and fitted seating, the pub has admittedly been opened up quite a bit, with only the Smoke Room having any close relationship to the original. Nevertheless, it's a very nice pub and one that it is easy to feel comfortable and welcome in. There are seven hand pumps, with a cider, a house bitter and Tetleys Cask seemingly regulars - for other beers at the time of my visit see my photos. This seems like a popular local and is well worth the short walk from the town centre. Date of visit: 20th October 2017

The Ring of Bells is a nice looking pub that is roughly between Shipley town centre and Saltaire. Once inside there is a single room which runs the width of the pub,the left side has comfy bench seating and chairs,there is also a TV on this side which was showing sky football score updates,there are some tall tables and chairs opposite the bar,the room is bare boarded and has some rugs. There was a decent choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Saltaire Blonde which went down well,the other beers noted were Tetley Cask,Copper Dragon Golden Pippin,One from Moorhouses which i think was Black Cat and one more which i wrote down but can not read. This is a very pleasant pub to have a few drinks in,it also kept me dry for a short while. Pub visited 28/11/2015
