I suppose that it might have rented rooms or supplied lodging for employees back then?

I can visualize myself and my good man, seated across from you and your lovely wife, sampling the wonderful brews of the district, having a good laugh (and perhaps trying to "hold it down" so as not to disturb the locals too much. Talking of dogs, and food drink and poetry and places and all manner of things. How I do wish it could be so!<br /><br />For now, I'll have to be satisfied with these vicarious visits and dream of the day when we can make it a reality.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-70539999359890306842010-07-26T17:00:05.056+01:002010-07-26T17:00:05.056+01:00I agree Martin.

The beery pubs (pubs that cater for real beer lovers). the foody pubs (those that concentrate on food rather than drink) and the kiddy pubs (those with play-areas for kids) survive, but the good honest local is becoming a thing of the past.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-19730807949394469152010-07-26T15:20:41.426+01:002010-07-26T15:20:41.426+01:00It sounds like a great place.
