I visited a pub somewhere in or near Cornwall in 1977 where there were curtains of spider webs. Hundreds and hundreds of years worth of webs plus Hicks Special Draught...very fond, if sometimes indistinct, memories.
Cool Pub, I wonder where the stage is located.
I have a distant (very) relative who opened the first brothel on Manhattan Island. She used to go down to the harbor and moon the boats coming in to curry trade. She was Teddy Roosevelt’s sixth great grandmother.
I’ve always wondered what ruins like these would have appeared as in real life.
want to go to shetland (and faroe islands) at some point. only real hangup is ferry time from the north of mainland. orkney is actually going to be done in the next year or so. orkney has some fabulous ancient sites as well.
oh my gosh that pub was open for business for 3000 years? and out of business for 1/10th of that time? I would say that establishment might be worth reopening
Looks like my kind of place.
I think 4600 years back preceeds the celts, angles, saxons, norse, to the oldest indiginous residents of present day Scotland.
Whether the picts were celts, or were older residents seems unproved one way or the other.
Now we know regardless of who, they had the tradition of the British pub, and there is good in that.
How much is a pint now? Been over ten years and I’m going back next month to East Anglia. Not that it matters, I’ll pay gladly
