BS: The Sun Inn

I have it on good authority that the Sun Inn, Beverley is to be sold off and converted into an old people's nursing home. Considering the history of this fine old hostelry I think it is a crying shame that it cannot continue as a public house which offers excellent live music.

Could it be someone saw the regulars and thought it was an old folks' home? **BG**

Seems a real shame to lose another good music venue so soon, [not long ago since The Playhouse closed down, i hear they are going to turn it into a resaraunt, already plenty of restaraunts in beverley].
Such a good pub as well, with plenty of history, oldest pub in Beverley, dating back hundreds of years.
Is it worth writing to/emailing the brewery, or have they already made their minds up?

I think its awful that such a great place is to be shut down. There are so many bad pubs around these days serving up fizz beer and plastic music it is a crying shame that somewhere that has the atmosphere and history of the Sun should be going.

As far as I know they haven't applied for a 'change of use' yet and should they do so Hull & East Yorks CAMRA will be campaigning against it. I will check with our Beverley activists to see what they know.

Yep, suggest you contact Roger Busby, lives on Wilbert Lane. Would imagine that he's in the phone book.

Good luck with the pub, would be a shame to lose it.

I dont pretend to be a history authority but the Sun was previously known as the Tap and Spile and for many years before it got the olde worlde treatment it was known as guess what the Sun where it sold the traditional pub fare of no food and a limited selection of good beer.I find it less than amusing to see people nostalgic for a parody of what a pub should be

Can anyone help me with a couple of songs I'm trying to track down on CD if possible: the first is "Whiskey Heaven" by Frankie Ford and the other is "In the Beginning" by Frankie Laine any assistance would be much appreciated. On the issue of live music do they still have sessions at Monks Walk and Nellies on the odd Sunday Afternoon?

With a name like "Sidewinder" you sound like you could be a Trawlering fellow.

Yes, the Sunday sessions are alive and kicking in the Beverley.

First sunday in the month I host the "Monks walk session" 2.00pm start,

every other sunday it is at "Nellies" hosted by oombanjo 3.30ish start.

At both sessions all are welcome.

There was never a threat to the pub. The only problem was trying to remove the last licensee.

Enterprise Inns went to court on Monday and got a court order to remove the sitting tenant. A temporary licensee, Shaun, who had the Holderness Inn for a short time, is currently cleaning up the pub ready for re-opening next week.

Hopefully this will be good news.
