Finally made it to @CompassFestLDS on the last day just to see the #Duchess tribute. Good to see so many folk remember and miss such an iconic pub. Unfortunately was driving so couldn't have a pint of @NomadicBeers mighty fine beer.

Our founder @marketerach believes a woman's place is in the pub & next week she's getting involved in THIS cool beer/pubs/art piece @KirkgateMarket Her talk 'Pubs as Community Glue' addresses why pubs are about more than drinking, with some really rather humbling reasons why...
