Aren't the (Staffordshire) Yeoman & the Wildwood the same? Or was there another Yeoman?
No of course they weren't!!! Why do I always mix up the names Westway & Wildwood, could be a dangerous mistake. Put it down to dyslexia.

Spot the deliberate error in the 1959 list.

Litten Tree: Riverside Bar, Faces American Bar, Newt & Cucumber, Litten Tree

I think Faces opened in late 1995 and it became the Newt & Cucumber in 1998. And I reckon Yates opened in 1999

For God's sake! After all that, I missed the Alpine Lodge/Rickerscote Arms..

And the Staffordshire Bull.

So, if we're counting these

Rickerscote Arms
Staffordshire Bull
Satchmo's
Tillington Hall
Props

..then that's 63.

The Picture House opened as a pub in '97 and I don't think that Reagan's was a 'walk in off the street and get a drink' type of place..

I wonder if the Bank House would have counted..?

You could when it was Abigails

Wasn't it Abigails before it was Reagans? I do remember it, always though it were a stupid place open a nightclub with Paul Reynolds' place down the road.

I was going to post this in Name Changes, but it's a bit off topic. Name changes, closures, character changes ... In July 1991 a bunch of lads from Wolverhampton decided to come on a pub crawl in Stafford. A couple of them did a reconnoitre and came up with 5 separate crawls, this is their list of the pubs in all of the crawls - plus a few try alsos and some avoid at all costs.

Comment and reminisce.

It was 'lasses' as well as "lads from Wolverhampton" and "A couple of them did a reconnoitre and came up with 5 separate crawls" is incorrect as I drew up the details of the 25 pubs from my own knowledge for the choice of five crawls - "Part Timer", "Standard", "Best", "Premium" and "Bob's Special" for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 pubs - and sketched the map.
History is important and interesting but it should be reported accurately.

The only other Yeoman I knew was the Derbyshire Yeoman on the Ashbourne Road, Derby - also Ind Coope and of a similar ago but a MuckDonalds now rather than demolished.
