History
Pre-Outbreak History
The pub, which has changed appearance several times over the years, is a yellow-stone building with a curved roof and a derelict appeal. It features a downstairs bowling alley, added in 1953. The pub was built in 1928 by the British Samuel Brookes (January 3, 1906-January 11, 1998) and his American wife, Faye (January 15, 1909-June 29, 2005), to showcase American swing, blues and jazz music, which had a very small local following as a result. It was run as a mix between traditional British public houses and American honky tonks and juke joints. Prior to this, It had been a Freemasonic Temple, which had been built in 1881 and burned in 1912. By the 1950's, rockabilly had taken over and the teddy boys made the Brookes Arms their hang-out of choice. The rockers made it their home and fought the mods around the establishment in the 1960's when the mods wanted more contemporary music played. In the 1970's, the pub went back to straight blues and a little funk until the Meteors played there in 1983. Since that time, the pub has been the center of Malton's small but loyal psychobilly scene. American street gang Full-Custom Gospel started to frequent the establishment by 1992 and became close to and were well received by the owners. The Brookes' issue include Ian, Mildred, Nigel and Abigail. The latter two run their own Brookes Arms in Bangor, Wales. Mr. Brookes died in January 11, 1998 at age 92 and the Brookes Arms was run by Faye Brookes until her death in June 29, 2005 at age 96. The regulars put a plaque in front of the pub in tribute to these heroes of Wyke Hills culture.
Post-Outbreak History
Management was driven from their home in late March 2009 by the undead. "Dieter von Carstein" claims responsibility, although his claim cannot be substantiated by the management. The dead abandoned the building in search of prey a few days later and the location has been annexed by F.C.G. with no fight. There are still a few scragglers outside, however. "Von Carstein" again claims responsibility for a minor attack the pub suffered on the first of June, 2009. The situation was easily reversible.
