Blue Bell, Brompton, Mongomery

This pub is not only on the A489 near the village of Church Stoke, it is also on the border between England and Wales.

 

The disused petrol pumps outside it are build on top of Offa's Dyke.

 

The price of petrol is shown as 4 shillings 3pence a gallon. That's 21 1/2 new pence a gallon (about 5p a litre). It must last have been used in or before 1970..

 

It was a pub of character when we visited it 10 years ago. It must still be a pub of character today.

 

Notethe blue bell under the pub sign.
