Historic Ripon pub rebrands to avoid insensitive racial name.
A historic pub near Ripon is rebranding as the Furlong and Furrow, citing concerns that its former name, Black-a-moor, carries insensitive racial connotations linked to the slave trade.
New owners Laura Davis and James Campbell emphasized the change is an effort to create an inclusive space, aligning with the pub's agricultural roots and 16th-century heritage.
The venue is set to reopen on May 15 with updated interiors and a seasonal gastro menu.
