Glad to see no uPVC in sight!.

The bar of The Glebe Hotel, on the corner of Glebe Street and Aqueduct Street in Stoke, a grade II listed building originally built in 1834.

Much work has been carried out to renovate this pub, now a Joule's brewery house, including the restoration of the William Morris leaded glazing by Paul Georgiou, a craftsman based in Erdington.

Excuse the quality of the shot, I was cold and hungry (waiting for my lunch), and was swiftly disposing of a beautiful pint of Slumbering Monk!

The red cross that is seen in the glazing is the company trade mark which has been taken from the cross which was put onto each barrel as a blessing by the Augustinian Monks who first brewed these beers in Stone, Staffordshire, dating back to the twelfth century.
