A GOOD old-fashioned a tm o sp h e re w ith a tou ch o f ch a rm is being served to v is i­ tors to the N ew Inn in

the New Inn is not just limited to the Kibble Val­ ley — visitors will imme­ diately notice the many North West accents of people who have come from far and wide in the region to sample the hospitality. Landlord Alan Lees,

much of its character by being decorated in a style


reminiscent of what pubs used to look like. Its five rooms, each with their own coal fire, are fur­ nished with red velvet walled seating and Vic­ torian wall coverings. Many people would say


that the real test of a good pub is in the beer •


— and


customers will be left in no doubt, after tasting a pint, that this is what the New Inn does best. Every palate can be


satisfied at this pub, with its carefully chosen selec­ tion of quality cask beer, which includes Hadding­ ton's, Cain’s, Moorhouse and beers from the Whit­ bread guest ale club. Its beer has won the seal of approval from the Cam­ paign for Heal Ale, whose members can often be seen sampling the guest beers in the pub. Customers in the New


Year will be able to tuck into a wholesome menu of home-made food, some of which will be cooked on tbe pub’s old range. Spirits of one kind or another are also on the

just mean the bottled vari­ ety. The pub is believed by many regulars, who have heard strange noises and witnessed unusual occurrences, to have its own ghost. Mr Lees said the stran­


gest thing occurred when a man servicing the pool table ran out of tbe pub with his hair standing on end and shouting that he had seen a “cold shadow." The New Inn is always


keen to bring the past to life and so is introducing the old pub games of skit­ tles and dominoes. It also plans to revive the old buzzer system, which allows customers to ring for their drinks to be deli- vered by a waitress service. Local players regularly


provide live music on a Eriday and Sunday to a mixed age group of cus­ tomers. The pub plays host to many local associa­ tions and social groups and its function suite can be used free of charge. Mr Lees and his wife

save tbe puli followed, before the brewery was won over to the idea that it should remain the same. Mr Lees explained the


situation now: "The brew­ ery has seen what we have

choir gave excellent per­ formances o f Herbert Sumsion’ s “ The Holy Mirth," founded on tradi­ tional carols for the most part, and Holst’s "Christ­ mas Day,” with great gusto. In both, Sally Coates contributed excel­ lent soprano solos. Those who had come to

________________________Fax: (0282) 838493 This is the advice being given by the People’s Dis­


pensary for Sick Animals in its leaflet, “ I’aft’s for Thought this Christmas.” Britain’s largest veterinary charity provides over


one and a quarter million treatments at iLs various centres and participating practices and asks us to remember that: "Christnuis cheer soon turns to mis­ ery for thousands of pets who are abandoned each year once they have ceased to he a novelty or their care has become too expensive or time-consuming.” Miss Nora Mriggs, chairman of the local animal


welfare group. Friends of Fur and Feather, rei­ terated the sentiment. She pleaded: “Please don’t buy them for Christmas. They don’t stay kittens and pup­


pies for ever. It’s sad, hut people just forget the costs.” Packed with helpful advice for prospective pet


owners and those responsible' for an animal’s health and safety over Christmas. “Paws for Thought this Christmas” can be obtained by sending a large SAF, to: The PR Dept (PFT), PDSA, Whitechapel Wav Priorsloc, Telford, Shropshire, TF2 9PQ.
