“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit." Jacob Rees-Mogg 21/10/21

Not sure which way you go from Donny by train, but if you are going via Leeds stop off at the West Riding Rooms on Dewsbury Station & Head of Steam & KIngs Head on Huddersfield Station, well worth stopping off at. Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar is supposed to be a mecca also.
Just received the 2009 Guide and curiously, The Lower Angel isn't in ... Tried the phone number and it wasn't recognised so won't be heading in that direction.
It closed down a good while ago, but when I saw that message, my hopes were raised that a good little pub had been saved!
Never mind!
Afternoon spent in Calderdale. Had a pint of Topsy Turvy (Salamander) at the Stubbing Wharf at Hebden Bridge by the Rochdale Canal and later a pint of Flowers Original at the Shoulder of Mutton (Mytholmroyd).
If you're out Kirk Smeaton way, the Shoulder of Mutton now boasts a House Ale brewed by the Dark Horse Brewery (Skipton, North Yorks). A red / brown ale with a distinctive flavour, it's well worth a try.
It [The Lower Angel] closed down a good while ago, but when I saw that message, my hopes were raised that a good little pub had been saved! Never mind!
It has been saved - it was closed down for several months last year, but re-opened just before Christmas. The reason it is not in the GBG is probably that it wasn't open when the surveys were done. The pub is much the same now as it was before. Still worth a visit.
