Re: A few beers in Sowerby Bridge
Couldn't agree more Mala, absolutely top place if you are a real ale drinker. Add to the list The Firehouse, Turk's Head and William's Bar.
The best way if you are on the train, is to start up at the top of the hill at The Shepherd's Rest and slowly wander downhill to the station.

Hog’s Head is excellent. Great curry house across the road too.

Between Hebden Bridge and Halifax Tim. There are some direct trains from Burnley Manchester Rd, but usually it requires a change at Hebden bridge.tim_noone wrote:Where is sowerby bridge?
