Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is a Grade II listed public house at 145 Fleet Street. It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors and is superb. The pub is currently owned and operated by the Samuel Smith Brewery.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is one of a number of pubs in London to have been rebuilt shortly after the Great Fire of 1666. There has been a pub at this location since 1538.
Some of the interior wood panelling is nineteenth century, some older, perhaps original. The vaulted cellars are thought to belong to a 13th-century Carmelite monastery which once occupied the site. The entrance to this pub is situated in a narrow alleyway and is very unassuming, yet once inside visitors will realise that the pub occupies a lot of floor space and has numerous bars and gloomy rooms. In winter, open fireplaces are used to keep the interior warm. In the bar room are posted plaques showing famous people who were regulars.
The literary figures Oliver Goldsmith, Mark Twain, Alfred Tennyson, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, P. G. Wodehouse and Dr. Johnson are all said to have been 'regulars'

Fleet Street is a major street in the City of London. It runs west to east from Temple Bar at the boundary with the City of Westminster to Ludgate Circus at the site of the London Wall and the River Fleet from which the street was named.
Having been an important through route since Roman times, businesses were established along the road during the Middle Ages. Senior clergy lived in Fleet Street during this period where there are several churches including Temple Church and St Bride's. Fleet Street became known for printing and publishing at the start of the 16th century and it became the dominant trade so that by the 20th century most British national newspapers operated from here. Much of the industry moved out in the 1980s after News International set up cheaper manufacturing premises in Wapping, but some former newspaper buildings are listed and have been preserved. The term Fleet Street remains a metonym for the British national press, and pubs on the street once frequented by journalists remain popular.
Fleet Street has a significant number of monuments and statues along its length, including the dragon at Temple Bar and memorials to a number of figures from the British press, such as Samuel Pepys and Lord Northcliffe. The street is mentioned in several works by Charles Dickens and is where the legendary fictitious murderous barber Sweeney Todd lived.

It's a love-hate feeling for many of us. Loving the old weather-worn ships, yet hating the damage they're wreaking on the precious environment. I've heard ('younger folk's') remarks that "they've been there since before I was born". The technical term is "ready reserve fleet", to indicate the ability to be brought back into service fairly quickly. Some contain systems to prevent moisture damage to the interior, and other protective measures. That was the whole purpose of this assemblage of ships. But over the years their technology has become closer to "obsolete". Few ships' exteriors had measures taken to prevent the damaging effects of the weather here: Ranging from 'baking-hot' to 'cold, windy, and soaking wet'.
Over many years peeling paint -- along with other polluting liquids and debris -- have made their way into the water; much of hazardous blend settled into the muddy bottom of the waters of this shallow anchorage. But now a dedicated effort is on to remove every ship, and clean-up the toxic damage to this beautiful environment; surrounded on three sides by marshlands and waterways, it's waters are a blend of Pacific Ocean saltwater and snowment from the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
There was a price to pay - damage to the environment - for maintaining this "mothball fleet". Now, in removing the source of pollution, there is an emotional price to pay: Losing great old ships that served us so well, many with amazing histories. Too few have been saved from the ship-breakers, and because of the economy there is little hope that any others will survive. I didn't realize then that these photos would also be a record of things that aren't there anymore. RIP, Ghost Fleet.

Volvo B10M / Plaxton Paramount III C53F. Following a recent post by cms206 of this coach as it is today (in an all white livery) it is perhaps interesting to see the coach as it started it out - in an all white livery! The coach was repainted in the two-tone blue Fleet Coaches livery shortly after this shot was taken, in May 1990.

Another view of one of the ex London MCW Metrobuses which infiltrated Arriva's Surrey and Sussex fleets in 1999 and were "spun" to us as an improvement despite replacing much newer and better vehicles. M660 (KYV 660X) is seen in Horsham on 3rd April, on a 97 service.

Because all the cool kids are building microspace fleets. (word up to Yoder and Dunechaser)
The VS-4 Musashi is the Anchorage Fleet's latest V-class dreadnaught, loaded with the best and brightest crew and the most advanced tech possible. It's also the testbed for the new Synchrotron-Actuated Slipstream Engine, a torus-shaped spacetime drive using the high-speed interactions of exotic particles to travel through space and/or time.
