The last remaining pub owned by Sam Smith's in Knaresborough has called time and closed its doors.
The Wellington Inn, a traditional pub on Briggate, was until recently one of three pubs in the town owned by the Tadcaster-based brewery.
There was also the Marquis of Granby, on York Place, and the Commercial Hotel, formerly the Borough Bailiff, on High Street.
Allan Gauld, branch chairman, Harrogate & Ripon CAMRA said:
People in Knaresborough reacted with sadness to the closure on Facebook, with many expressing concerns over "yet another" empty building in the town.
Another added:
The Stray Ferret attempted to contact Sam Smith’s but has not yet received a reply.
