The Malt Shovel that we went into was near Harrogate, and quite off the beaten track.<br /><br />We had driven out for a meal in a country Pub, but ended up in a roadside diner pub - serving indifferent grub and indifferent beer. On the way back we saw a sign for the "Malt Shovel" and after some discussion decided to have a look. It was just what you picture a country pub to be. Real Ales (several) and to make matters worse, they were serving food. It looked marvellous and by the expressions on the chops of the diners, tasted even better.<br /><br />We've been more selective since.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-89560737762888426462011-11-29T22:26:54.409+00:002011-11-29T22:26:54.409+00:00Oh By the way, Bingley was one of my childhood hau...Oh By the way, Bingley was one of my childhood haunts...Michael and Hannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231212221228037889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-79027250428254740052011-11-29T22:25:06.136+00:002011-11-29T22:25:06.136+00:00Very fine antique pub.

The old White Horse Tavern in Newport served as an impromptu city hall, municipal court, and colonial legislature. And here in Shippensburg the Widow Piper's Inn served as Cumberland County's first court. I'm wondering if they were still serving while court was in session?

In the background stood this lowly log cabin of split logs. It was a replica of what probably stood on the site of Fort Des Moines. Modern city stands all around it. Your old structures are such a fascination for me to see and the history that lies all around the area.L. D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/02270923121962761209noreply@blogger.com
