I started going in this pub in about 1976. I only lived about 20 minutes away in wesborough walking. A couple in the fernsides and then down to the ( John f ) it was so so different and friendly! Lots of biker's, punks, students, hippies and straights. Never eny bother or fighting. Ted and sue kept everything running perfectly! I must have been in that pub 2000 times plus over the years. Especially 1976 to 2000. My favourite drinking oil of all time!! 😎👍
What a fantastic testament. I wish I could have experienced it when it was thriving. I'm sure many others will enjoy reading your remembrances. Thanks Paul and I hope the film triggered plenty of happy memories for you.
Gossy. Glad to see you are still kicking around. Long time since we hammered CB900s and KR1s,s around the countryside at highly improbable speeds.
You will no doubt know my dad Jeff kellett. I’ve heard about back in the day 😂
CB900 & KR1s wow beautiful m/cs I also like the reference “oil”
Made me chuckle
I’ve been in so many Dog oils over the years 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
The John F has a very special place in my heart. As a biker I used to frequent it for over 20 years on and off.
Yep, jukebox was legendary.
Moved out of the area 20 years ago and am saddened to here of Sues death.
Lovely words and thank you for sharing your thoughts. And thanks for watching!
Oh wow. This is my uncle Teds pub. Lovely pictures of him and lovely auntie sue. ❤
Thanks Hayley for taking the time to post your comment. The pictures are really good aren't they? Ted and Sue certainly looked good together and it's brilliant to hear how well thought of they were from the people who used to frequent the JFK. Thanks for watching.
Used to drink there all the time; my favourite place. Used to be heaving in the 90’s and it still did have the best jukebox.
Never knew how it came to be called the John F. Heard the rumours about the club in the basement but think that was 70’s-80’s, before my time.
Ted and Sue were lovely people, it was a friendly place and a good rock community.
Thanks so much for taking the time to post your remembrances of the JFK. It's brilliant to hear from somebody who knew the pub and was a regular. I'm sure others will enjoy reading this too.
A great pub many happy memories in there thanks for sharing this video.😊
It's great to hear from you Michelle. So glad you enjoyed the film. I hope it triggered a few happy memories for you.
Played right back for the John f in the glory years 😁, and we still go out for a pint with ted as a group of Ted's old boys 🍻
That's brilliant to know Ted's still in fine fettle. I bet the lot of you still have good night's out. Thanks for sharing.
Very special memories for me. Ted used to start sweeping up very late to get rid of us all.
I'm so please the film has triggered some happy memories and I like your story of Ted sweeping. It reminded me of a place where I used to work and we would splash loads of soapy water on the seats to make people leave at closing time.
Really enjoyed this story, thank you!
Many thanks Patrick. I'm very pleased to hear you enjoyed the film. Thanks for taking the time post your comment and for watching.
Very fond memories of this pub as I had my very first pint in here.As someone said a fantastic jukebox and never any bother.Ted was so laid back but ran a good pub and served the best pint of Landlord I’ve had or will have.
All my friends loved it there and it was always our go to,best pub out of the many in Dewsbury.Sorry to read about Sue though.
It's great to read about your own fond memories Roy. Sounds from everybody who's posted on here that it was a cracking place to drink. Thanks for sharing.
@@DodgersTrips Glad you made this video.
Thanks for watching. It's much appreciated.
Pubs in Dewsbury are becoming a rarity. The benefits of MC
I was going to ask you what MC meant but I've just figured it out. I suppose it always comes down to use 'em or lose 'em. Thanks for your comment and for watching the video.
How interesting. Thank you 😊
So glad you enjoyed the film. Thanks very much for taking the time to post your comment and for watching.
Spent many Happy hrs in the JFK late 70s early 80s, great group , Ted and Sue ran it well, was called the Rising Sun , before and one of the favourite songs on the Juke Box was House of the Rising Sun by Fidgid Pink ( great version) nice memories thanks for the commentary.
I've heard so much about the jukebox in the JFK. Wish there was a listing of the records. I will have to search RUclips to hear the Fidgid Pink version. Thanks for taking the time to post your comment and for watching the video.
Looks like a nice old pub though Not to many left these days
I use one in my town It’s great 1908 I think Good old pub with Great Beers 🍺
CAn't beat the tradtional boozers but like you say there's too few of them left. The pub landlord doesn't stand much chance and can't compete with the chains and gastro pubs.
Great pub in its day. One of the first pubs I ever went into. Ted and Sue taught me how to pull a pint and I worked there for a short time.
Best pint of Tetleys in the area :)
Brilliant to hear your story Karen. This is the first time I've heard from sombody who worked there. I hope the film brought back a few happy memories for you.
@@DodgersTrips It certainly did, that was 40+ years ago and I did part time bar work for years afterwards. It had the best juke box and beer in town :)
I wasted my formative years drinking there, don't regret a second of it. Hope Ted is doing well and my condolences to him for his loss. RIP Sue. Wonder if BarbedWire the barmaid is still with us? Its been a long time.
VEry nice comment Jonathan. I bet those thoughts are echoed by many. Thank you for taking the time to post and for watching the video.
My late father in law's parents used to run this pub...it was called the rising sun in its former days.
Wow! that's going back some. Thanks for sharing this extrs bit of local history. I wonder how many can remember the Rising Sun?
Was a great pub enjoyed the time I had in there
I think his first wife ran the poacher on Bradford rd
Which also was a good pub
Thanks a lot for sharing your remembrance of spending time in the JFK. I'm sure a few people who read this will know the Poacher. Everybody I've heard from on here and on FB say what a great poub it was in it's day. Once more, thanks for taking the time to post your comment and for watching.
Leslie reynolds. That name rings a bell.
spent many happy hours in the John F in the late 80s. Great beer, great crowd and incredible jukebox. and never any bother. I pass it fairly regularly and wish it was still open.
The jukebox nearly always gets a mention. It would be great to have the JFK jukebox as a playlist in the car. People only seem to have nice memories which is a lovely testament to Ted & Sue. Thanks for taking the time to post your comment and watch the video.
@@DodgersTrips I seem to remember Don't Fear The Reaper, Peaches by the Stranglers and They're Coming To Take Me Away by Napoleon Bonaparte getting a lot of plays. Would love a John F play list .
Thanks for those three titles Garry. Hopefully others can add to these and we'll get some more gems from the JFK jukebox.
Batley Variety club not far away offering many fantastic nights out but sadly I have no desire to go back to Dewsbury after being told, by 5 youths in a hatchback, to “ get back to my ’own’ country”. And that was 20 years ago.
Unbelievable what an experience. Sorry to hear that. Batley Variety was fantastic, when you look at the people who took the stage there, such a shame it couldn't keep going. I saw where they recently put a blue plaque on the building that now is on that location.
Batley Variety Club closed in 1978 when the Corrigans separated. It re-opened briefly as Crumpets nightclub by Betty Corrigan, before reopening as the Frontier Club in the early 1980s. The Frontier remained open until 2016. The building still stands and has been converted to a gym
Thanks for the potted history. I don't know why but I completely forgot about The Frontier.
@@nw8000 Yes and I have gigged at the Frontier a couple of times. Massive stage.
😊@@DodgersTrips
I played in a casual football team in the early 90's and we used to play regularly against pub teams who wanted to play friendlies. Once or twice we played against Ted's team. Toe-Poke Ted we called him lol. He was reportedly in his early fifties then so it wouldn't surprise me to hear he was at least 85 or so, as of 2024
Brilliant remembrance of Ted. Sounds like he may have been a "Sniffer" Clarke type footballer. Good for him. I wonder if anybody else played for or against the JFK.
Im almost 39years old i remember this as a child been open it is very unique 👌 i still live in dewsbury
I think it's great that the JFK name is still there and the old Tetley sign as well. If the use of the building ever changes those two should be put in Dewsbury museum.
Think his surname was Rushforth........his wife Sue died about 4 years ago....not sure but I think he's about 92 now.
Thank you very much for sharing this it would tie in with the paper described Ted as in his 80s.
their used to be a pub across the road called the Anchor ,majority of the pubs have gone in Dewsbury
Thanks Martin. Did it get demolished when the ring road was built?
@@DodgersTrips no i would say about 15 years ago , that area of dewsbury used to have
a lot of catholic irish and i thought that could have been a reason why it was called the JF
That's interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share your local knowledge Martin.
@@DodgersTrips were quick fit is,I remember the landlord was called Ernest.There was loads of great boozers in Dewsbury.
Everybody knows this pub as the John F, but before 1968 it was The Rising Sun. There was a pub called The Sun Inn not far from here on Boothroyd Lane.
Somebody else remembered it as the Rising Sun. I bet there's not too many who can remember that. Thanks for your interesting post Stu and for watching the film.
In the 1980 s they did a nice pint of cider 😊
Thanks Nigel great to hear from somebody who'd been in the JFK.
@@nigelmitchell5726 The cider I remember was out of a bottle was merrdown/ theakstons,reight rocket fuel.
There is a pub in Sheffield called the Grapes on trippet lane that has a room all dedicated to JFK. Definitely worth a look if your interested in stuff like that.
Thanks for telling me about The Grapes Sean. Definitely sometwhere that I'd be interested in seeing. I have half a plan to do a tour of Yorkshire and needed to visit somewhere historic in Sheffield so that would be ideal.
I bet Ted still has the best juke box in Dewsbury
I'm sure you're right. Would love to know what he's got on there. I bet it'd make a cracking playlist for the car.
That is very cool.....
Cheers Brian, hope you're ok. Thqanks for watching. It would have been great to go inside I bet it's a right time capsule.
@@DodgersTripsthat’s what I said to the wife I bet nothing has changed inside.I used to take her there when we was courting,she liked it,a great varied mix of folk just having a nice drink.
In Chaddesden area of Derby, we used to have a John F Kennedy pub
Thanks very much for sharing that Paul. It would be interesting to know if there have been others too.
I'd love to have this pub I'm a Barnsley lad but ad still. Take on take it back to a biker pub not many biker pubs left now,, real biker joints 😢
Not much parking out front though. I imagine back in the the day it would have been a sight to behold before the dual carriageway was built. Nice idea though, to be able to hear that jukebox again..
@@DodgersTrips it would be good my mate would be happy he'd be playing saxon and quo all time 😂
There'd have to be some AC/DC on there as well.
Last time I was in there when I was 18 I'm now 43 it's a shame
It does as though it was a great atmosphere there in its heyday and people only have good things to say of Ted & Sue. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope the film revived some happy memories for you.
The amount of pubs and clubs that have disappeared or shut in Doomsbury and Batley and it is disgraceful.
But I guess it's a sign of the times and population not frequenting pubs n clubs. As most things these days since Zee Lurgy, it's use it or lose it. 😊
Use it or lose it usually sums up most closures. I suppose the big chains like Wetherspoons are the only ones who can complete with the supermarkets. The one man operation doesn't stand much of a chance.
My father was born in Dewsbury in 1937. He drank in here in the late 1960s and 70's. He said Mr Rushworth had to get permission from the Kennedy family in the US to use the name. Not sure if that is true or an urban myth.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. That is really interesting and makes me want to know whether there is any truth in it. I would lean more to it being a myth but who knows?
Haha well done Dodger. I haven't watched the full video yet, but he's incriminated himself in the first 10 seconds by walking down a prohibited pedestrian area
Big mistake. I know, now. Hope you enjoy the video Andy.
I worked up in Dewsbury for a while in 2023 after getting my visa (I’m a Lancashire lad) it looked quirky and imagined it full of Characters. It looked like it was closed but hope I’m wrong 👍
Love that about the visa. At least you'll have got a decent cup of tea over here. It would be good to see it in its heyday. Like you say, full of characters and I'm sure there were many a great night had there.
It doesn't open much I believe. I don't think it's open to the public when it is, hopefully one day if the pub ever gets sold it can carry on being a pub.
At one time it was called John F Kennedy II, you can just about make it out.
That's interesting to know. Thanks very much for sharing that.
Not as good as Fearnsides just up the road or the Market Tavern in the town centre.
I don't know anything about those. Maybe somebody more local can add their thoughts to this.
Your not on a pavement 😂
If you're on about the dual carriageway, I realised later that I shouldn't have been walkign there.
With all due respect that was rubbish , Michael from Leeds
Thank you for taking the additional few seconds to post your comment Michael, following the seven minutes that you clearly felt you'd wasted by watching the film. It is much appreciated.
