A really nice day out in West Yorkshire. I started the morning with the express bus to Houghton-le-Spring for the 8.30 pick up from Katie & Lee, then it was on to Micklefield to pick up Dave from the train station. We then headed to Crossgates to tick off another ‘Spoons, the Charles Henry Roe was the only one in this part of Yorkshire I hadn’t been to. We arrived in Dewsbury just before 1pm, which allowed time for me and Dave to visit the impressive West Riding Beerhouse before the last leg of the journey to Dewsbury Moor for the footy.
