Steve C left this review about The Penny Black (JD Wetherspoon)

The Penny Black is a Wetherspoons with a raised front seating area to the right before the bar counter that runs up the right-hand wall. High tables down the centre of the pub and standard furniture at the rear all sit under a V-shaped roof with big skylights. Out the back is a decked seating area. The bar supports standard and premium keg and the two duplicate banks of six hand pumps were drawing Ruddles, Sharp’s Doom Bar, GK Abbot Ale, Grainstore’s Ten Fifty, Acorn Brewery’s Endeavour IPA and Mobberley’s Sidekick. The Grainstore was OK, but I had to ask for my drink to be topped up, as did the customer before me. I wasn’t very impressed with this place.

This Spoons is unusual as initially it looks like an old coaching inn but as noted below that's a mirage as it's a former post office dating fron 1914. Inside the truth dawns since apart from the sorting office beams being wooden instead of iron it has the same old layout as all the other JDW former post offices. The low ceilinged front section includes a room off to the right then behind this is the barn like former sorting office with the bar on the right.
This doesn't stop it being a good Spoons as it had the best beer choice I've seen for some time with one available soon, the JDW Trio Of Doom with Abbot doubled, Abbot Reserve, Orkney Red Macgregor, Moorhouse First Cut & Pendle Witches Brew, Slater's Top Totty, Beartown Kodak Gold and Dunscar Black IPA. I went for the Abbot Reserve (£2.09) which was in good nick.
Despite the sorting office barn I thought this was a good Spoons.

An impressive looking Wethers from the outside. Inside is fairly standard Wethers and it is quite nice. Its mainly open plan with various areas to sit. 12 handpumps on the bar and a quite decent selection on this visit.
