We have the Wrong Turn Tavern, here . It is filling in for our main Pub which burned to the ground last year, after a hundred years of gracing the community and providing a watering hole for all the beer drinkers in the valley. It was just called "The Pub" - being the only one in town.Hildredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420791064923078834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-63723222185721298642015-04-11T11:34:34.005+01:002015-04-11T11:34:34.005+01:00I bought an online book some time ago with all the...I bought an online book some time ago with all the pub names, but for the life of me i can't find it now.

In Spalding there is a gap between a bank and a shop that leads you into an alleyway. In the alleyway is a narrow pub called 'The Hole in the Wall'. Very apt, and the alleyway is that narrow that you could still walk relatively straight after a good night!!sweetbriardreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036932595395191529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-61650208220714311422015-04-08T08:13:10.796+01:002015-04-08T08:13:10.796+01:00Oh, how I miss British pubs!Oh, how I miss British pubs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-42170380087118657902015-04-08T00:07:39.422+01:002015-04-08T00:07:39.422+01:00That is fantastic idea and great rare collection! ...That is fantastic idea and great rare collection!
