The coaching yard of the Bull Hotel, Ludlow, Shropshire

I mentioned in my recent posting of the Reader's House, viewed from the churchyard, that a snicket (narrow cut-through) to its left unexpectedly pops you out here at the top of some stone steps.

I remember when I first discovered this surprise view and the delight I felt back in the early 80's when I first visited the town.

BLB is very dry and rather vague about it so I have few details. Medieval to 17th century is my guess, but from the street outside you would never know this was here; it was given a boring facade in the late 18th century of plain rendered brick.

 

A little bit of picturesque 'merrie olde England', and I should imagine that quite a few have been well merried and staggered home from there over the centuries!
