The Springvale

Who knows who you might bump into if you visit the Springvale? Apparently, rock star Joe Cocker lived opposite and popped in now and again. Legend also has it that the Yorkshire Ripper had a drink at this pub on the night he was arrested. Reliable sources inform me that Tom Cruise met Katie Holmes over a game of pool at The Springvale. Ok, so maybe the pint-sized Scientologist has never been here before. Nowadays you're more likely to find students mixing with Crookesmoor residents, watching live sports or enjoying ale in the large beer garden.
