In a single handed attempt to save the fortunes of that threatened institution, the British Pub, I have decided to embark on a series of visits to public houses. Where better to start than the splendid Shoulder of Mutton in Northowram, the village where I grew up? Spreading over three adjoining buildings, parts of the pub date back to the early seventeenth century, and it also incorporates the eighteenth century Priestley Hall.
I salute you on your quest to save the British pubs. I like the old pubs, the traditional ones. Have you read the fun mystery series where each book has the title of a different pub? I have read many, I think the author is Martha Grimes, one of the books is The Running Footman.
