Public Houses
The lack of a public house on the north east fringes of Wetherby means many residents of these areas use the Bay Horse in Kirk Deighton. The Bay Horse was originally two public houses, The Bay Horse and The Grey Hound. The party wall was removed and they became one pub under the name The Bay Horse. Until the early 1990s, Kirk Deighton had another pub, the Alpine Lodge, a Samuel Smith's pub situated on the A1. This was closed for many years until an arson attack in the 2000s saw the building demolished.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or houses:
“Hilary Clinton’s great sin was that she left the nicely wallpapered domestic sphere with a slam of the door, took up public life on her own, leaving big feminist footprints all over the place, and without so much as an apology.”
—Patricia J. Williams (b. 1942)
“And the Harvard students in the brick
hallowed houses studied Sappho in cement rooms.
And this Sappho danced on the grass
and danced and danced and danced.
It was a death dance.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
