A former teacher has taken over the tenancy of a Keighley pub.

Steven Baybut is the new face behind the bar at the Timothy Taylor-owned Friendly Inn, in Aireworth Street.

He was a teacher for many years before more recently running a pub and social club in the south of England. This is his first venture north.

"I was looking for a change and Timothy Taylor has such a good reputation so I checked out its website and spotted this opportunity," said Steven.

"The Friendly is a great community pub and all the locals have made me very welcome.”
