History

The pub was built in 1928 by the British Samuel Brookes and his American wife, Faye, to showcase American swing, blues and jazz music, which had a very small local following as a result. Prior to this, It had been a Masonic 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 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 recieved by the owners. The Brookes' issue include Ian, Mildred, Nigel and Abigail. The latter two run their own Brookes Arms in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, 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.
