WELCOMING HOSTELRY: Ann and Stan Taylor outside the Horseshoe Inn, West Rounton
The Horseshoe Inn, in West Rounton, near Northallerton, has opened its doors following a refurbishment by new owners Stan and Ann Taylor.
The 18th century, Grade II-listed building closed following the illness and subsequent death of its previous owner, Martha Evelyn Hoare. It had been in her family for almost 100 years, having previously been owned by her father. Mrs Hoare, who ran the pub well into her nineties, was still using the old wooden till found in the premises by the incumbent owners.
Another interesting feature of the pub is the large wroughtiron horseshoe fastened above the door.
Mr and Mrs Taylor, who live nearby in a converted Methodist church, decided to breathe new life into the premises.

As many of you may have noticed with the arrival of the cold weather all of the Grit bins and grit piles in and around the  village have disappeared, making many of the roads dangerous. This is not only a very serious safety concern for residents but also people passing through the village, especially with sometimes large goods vehicles and tankers servicing some of the local business's.
