For Allen Slinger, landlord of the Royal Standard his first year in charge has been an eventful one that has included over seeing a complete refit of one of Beverley’s most loved traditional pubs.

When launched in June 2013, Beverley’s Georgian Quarter received a grant of £10,0000 as part of the High Street Funds.

At the time the group who were awarded the grant, said money would be used to create a ‘shopping destination’ to rival that of any town centre development.

Back then the Traders said; ‘We are putting into place the finished plans for the first stage in making the North Bar area a place that will rival other town centre developments.’

‘These plans include promotions, events, a dedicated website and signage. It’s great news for Beverley, for the town’s residents and businesses.’

‘We want to turn the North Bar shopping area into the premier fashion and lifestyle destination in East Yorkshire.’ – The same buzz words that are now being used to describe another project!
