I bet Charlotte was tuns o fun.
Too bad the Standard didn’t have pictures. There are several old taverns from as far back as the 15th century still in operation in London where you can lift a glass and think about all the old topers who’ve done the same on that very spot. Very inspiring.
The secret lies with Charlotte.
“Water from the Fleet could have been channeled into the pub for brewing...” LOLOLOL. The Fleet was a $*** ditch. It may indeed have been used for brewing, but what a concept!
I lived in a village in Norfolk that had a pub dating back to the 16th century. Raised many a pint there. Seems incredible to most Americans but not all that unusual in England. In fact I plan to return in October for my 60th birthday, pint of bitters in hand.
