This has to be one of my favourite pubs. I first visited it in 1979 while I was still at uni. Still under the same landlord (David Short), it has changed hardly at all since then, carefully preserved on the tottering brink of ruin inside and out. Belinda the goose (who used to guard the car park) is now a fine example of the taxidermist's art in a glass case; the armchair at the end of the big table in the public bar had to be replaced because it finally did fall apart; one or two items have been added to the weekday lunch menu over the years; and recently a pillar had to be installed to hold up the public bar ceiling which was threatening to cave in.
Adnam's Southwold beers on stillage behind the bar, gravity poured, not pumped or pressurised. Soup (you don't ask what sort - the answer will be "it's sort of pale green today", or some such - but always delicious), and a nice range of sandwiches on good wholemeal brown bread. I had (pale green!) soup and roast beef today, which was lovely, but the ham and the smoked salmon (and the cheese and pickle) are excellent too. During the winter they do baked potatoes as well.
Unique and wonderful.

Pubs and Cafe's Ive visited around the world. Public houses are a great place for the community, families and friends alike, to gather and socialize. They are a wonderful hub of news, activity, humor, and love. A selection of pubs and bars Ive visited over the years and these particular ones are from London
I like the light crawling along his veiny arms. =D

The pub is a Fullers House but also offers Litovel, San Miguel and Becks Vier and good food, but its greatest asset is its Canalside Terrace

This pub was situated on the corner of Terminus Road and Grove Road and was owned by the Gilbert Family. Formerly it was Hartfield Farm House before being converted into an inn at the coming of the railway (1840s). A large room was added for the Foresters and 'May Queen' was composed there by Sir Sterndale Bennett. Councillor W Francis bought the site and demolished the building 1873/4. Known as 'The Squirrel' (due to the Gilbert family crest), the 'Terminus Hotel' and the 'Gilbert Arms'.
Doric Cinema; Newmarket. Opened March 1937, designed by Edgar Simmons and provided with a deep stage, the Doric continued as a cinema and theatre until July 1964. It has then been a mix of closure, pub and nightclub use, but hopes are high that it can be returned to use as an entertainment centre after refusal for conversion (mainly demolition) into flats.

The Rhos Fynach Pub in Rhos On Sea. Rhos Fynach (literally meaning 'Monk's Marsh') is the oldest building in the area, built in 1181 AD.
Now, after substantial rebuilding a few years ago, it is a pub and restaurant, but was originally a 12th century monastery with secret tunnels linking it to the nearby tiny, 6th century, Chapel of St Trillo. Rhos Fynach was the home to the monks who fished the weir off Rhos Point to provide the catch for the larger monastery in Conwy at the time.
Was known originally as the Red Lion Inn. Previous to its getting a licence to sell beer it was the original Police station for Bacup. The Wellington had stabling stalls of 3 considered to be very poor and no coach house.

An amazingly beautiful pub - full of really extraordinary features inside and out, but I couldn't help feeling as if it had been spoilt somehow. Something wasn't quite right in there - probably the way there's an incongruous contemporary restaurant in the back half, skewing the atmosphere. We stayed in the snugs and had a nice time. Shame we left it till now to come visiting though, I wonder what it was like a few years ago before Youngs got hold of it & went gastro.
There was a wailing car alarm the whole time we were here, so the pub turned the music up a bit to cover it.
These were at Ingoldmells behind the Lookout pub next to the sea, just down from Butlins, does anyone remember them???

Grave of the publican of the Mother Red Cap pub in Camden, now The World's End.
The pub has a past tied up with stories of witchcraft:
"Once upon a time, North London’s Camden Town did not exist. There was Kentish Town (Kent-As-Town) above it and the city below, and the connecting coach corridor became a hamlet, then a village. While it was still a village it supposedly became the home of two witches, the Mother Red Cap and the Mother Black Cap. I say ‘supposedly’ because although accounts are plentiful, they’re a bit contradictory.
"A red capped hag was someone wearing the headgear of witches, but this was more an archetype signifying a local old woman who offered advice to girls in the village. Even when I was a child every street had one of these women, someone to whom others went with worries, relationship problems, unexplained illnesses and of course, unwanted pregnancies.
"The red-capped old lady on the site in Camden in the 17th century (rather vague, I know, but again hard facts are hard to come by) was born Jinney Bingham, the daughter of a local bricklayer. By the time she was 16 she had a child by a man caught stealing sheep from Holloway. He was sent to Newgate Prison, tried at the Old Bailey and hung at Tyburn. Jinney’s parents were accused of practising black magic and causing the death of a young maiden, for which they were both hung. Meanwhile, Jinney met several men who ‘disappeared in mysterious circumstances’. She was supposedly acquitted of burning a man alive when a witness proved that he often hid in the oven to escape her nagging tongue.
"The pub was built on the site of her cottage and became a halfway house for carriages venturing and returning from North London. And you thought it was hard to get a cab over the river. But in the 1980s the pub was changed to a meaningless name, the World’s End, despite continuing to play up its associations with a witch (so why change the name at all?)
"Witches = mysogyny; that’s not much of a surprise. But to have a pair of rival witches in one small village is. The Mother Black Cap was originally the name of old Mother Shipton, the 17th century Yorkshire seer or witch who saw London in flames. There’s a moth and a pantomime figure named after her. But Camden’s witch was Mother Damnable, fortune teller, healer, who admitted the Devil into her cottage and was also known as the Shrew of Kent-As-Town."

"Highgate Cemetery is a place of burial in north London, England. It is designated Grade I on the Historic England Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. It is divided into two parts, named the East and West cemetery. There are approximately 170,000 people buried in around 53,000 graves at Highgate Cemetery. Highgate Cemetery is notable both for some of the people buried there as well as for its de facto status as a nature reserve.
"The cemetery in its original form – the northwestern wooded area – opened in 1839, as part of a plan to provide seven large, modern cemeteries, now known as the "Magnificent Seven", around the outside of central London. The inner-city cemeteries, mostly the graveyards attached to individual churches, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. The initial design was by architect and entrepreneur Stephen Geary.
"Fifteen acres were consecrated for the use of the Church of England, and two acres set aside for Dissenters. Rights of burial were sold for either limited period or in perpetuity. The first burial was Elizabeth Jackson of Little Windmill Street, Soho, on 26 May.
"Highgate, like the others of the Magnificent Seven, soon became a fashionable place for burials and was much admired and visited. The Victorian attitude to death and its presentation led to the creation of a wealth of Gothic tombs and buildings. In 1854 the area to the east of the original area across Swains Lane was bought to form the eastern part of the cemetery."
