This was also briefly a cinema until 1911- the only Pub-Cinema in Yorkshire (according to "Movie Makers and Picture Palaces by G. J. Mellor). Apparently they were forced to choose between showing films or serving beer, and chose the latter.

The Crimea pub is not being demolished till around Autumn now.
The rest were demolished by the 22nd of March.
... Why are they holding back on the Crimea ? Are they expecting a preservation order on it ? Which would be good.

Good to see work’s finally started on the new river side park, great to get rid of these eye sores after years of being boarded up
Was the best pub in Castleford. When Jim and Steph Duggan ran it
Shame it fell into disrepair, just like a lot of the other pubs the lack of use saw its demise 😥 🍺
The Crimea was well used right up to the landlord getting greedy and trying to cash in on turning it into flats. Jimmy caused its demise, nobody else
be interesting to see what replaces it
