The Thomas Sykes was situated on Anglesey Road. This was a licensed house developed from the stables within the old Everards Burton Brewery, after that company withdrew its brewing totally to Leicester and shut their Burton operation down. - early 1980s I believe. It was a popular venue for some of the IT staff from Allied Breweries during its heyday, serving a famous, (or notorious !!) "Cow Pie" at lunchtimes. When the actual brewery site was acquired for housing development around 2004, the pub had to close for safety reasons but it was believed that it would reopen in a refurbished condition to serve the new housing around it. So far, this has not happened and is unlikely to so do !
