Not a typical British pub i would say...but a British pub, all the same.
Striking green tiling as a contrast to the bright red door.
Pubs have been closing at an alarming rate over the past few years so it is nice to see a "local" still going strong.
Some pub games on offer and It seems to show live sport on TV, too.

Nice little pub with a great selection of whiskies, over 700. So many whiskies , so little money. The food there was also great. A must visit if your ever in Thornbury, Ontario.
warmth, coziness - have a hot beverage, a mulled wine perhaps or a cider - spring is around the corner
The Pub Restaurant roadside sign tower. I remember when the top portion would rotate and the vertical letters were neon, lighting individually then flashing all together with neon action. The top portion looks like it is still neon.
I will always remember standing out like a saw thumb when I turned up in a pub in fishnets and high heels.
This is my "more appropriate" pub wear.

Rudd’s Pub was built in 1893 and was originally called the “Davenporter” Hotel. The name was changed to Rudd’s Pub in the 1980’s in recognition of the author Steele Rudd.
The hotel itself is unique and still retains the character and charm of a hotel from a bygone era. The walls tell a photographic story of days gone by and memorabilia covers the walls and ceilings. Farming implements from long ago, tools that your grandfather may have used, bottles, kitchen utensils, books and many other interesting items too numerous to mention. Tourists have likened it to eating in a museum.
Steele Rudd (real name Arthur Hoey Davis) lived in Nobby for a period of time and folklore says he used to sit in front of the fireplace in our heritage room and pen some of his Dad and Dave” stories.
Nobby is also the home of Sister Elizabeth Kenny who pioneered the treatment of infantile paralysis (polio). The hotel has a wall devoted to her wonderful work and she is buried in the Nobby Cemetery.
You can find detailed histories of Steele Rudd, his Dad and Dave characters and Sister Kenny on the internet of course.
There is no shortage of pleasant drinking establishments in Harpenden. To visit them all in one day would indeed be a `staggering feat (feet ?)`.
The George, or George Inn, is a public house established in the medieval period on Borough High Street in Southwark, London. Currently owned and leased by the National Trust, it is located about 250 m from the south side of the River Thames near London Bridge. It is the only surviving galleried London coaching inn. The first map of Southwark (Duchy of Lancaster ca1543) clearly shows it marked as 'Gorge'. It was formerly known as the George and Dragon, named after the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. It is by far the oldest pub in London.
The nearest chap doesn't look too absorbed in the rugby match (South Africa won against Scotland 18-3) being shown on the television in the pub adjacent to Oxted railway station. The other two gents seem slightly more interested.
That's the beauty of using a mobile on silent mode, it's great for candid photos. On this occasion one of the tv screens was right above my head, so an ideal place to get people looking to the 'camera'.

"au secours !!! ... enlevez-moi ce truc ...!"
... bien sûr, cliquer sur la pub ne vous mènera nulle part (et puis quoi encore!) ... juste à voir l'affiche ... et l'oreille de Pixel en pleine résolution ...
The Shipperies pub is located on Durning Road in Kensington,Liverpool.
It was built to accommodate visitors to the International Exhibition of Navigation, Travelling, Commerce and Manufacture (known as the Shipperies Exhibition) which held in the nearby Exhibition Hall on Edge Lane in 1886.
RICH chapter in Sydney's pub culture will come to an end this weekend when Harald and Trish Muller pour their last beers at the iconic East Sydney Hotel.
All they hope is that the commitment they made 15 years ago to keep one of Sydney's oldest pubs forever free of pokies, doesn't eventually follow them out the door.
When pokies were introduced to pubs in 1999, the Mullers were one of the few publicans to reject them. It was a decision that has afforded the pub an icon status among rivals.
"I refused to take part in ripping off working class people," Mr Muller says.
"And that's what they were designed to do. They were designed to take money off families who can least afford it."
It was this decision, they claim, that has been the key to the success and survival of one of Sydney's oldest pubs, first built on the corner of Crown and Cathedral streets in 1856 as the Shamrock Hotel.
"We said we would keep it in the tradition of what a pub was designed for in the first place…a wonderful meeting place," he says.
"And we have proven the point that you can make a good living out of a pub without pokies."
But after 35 years, they have finally sold out of the pub business. "We want to now enjoy the fruits of our labour," Muller says.
That labour included many days and nights working behind their own bar.
"It's probably why we didnt go broke, " Muller jokes.
"But in all that time, we have never had a fight in this pub, we've never had security. And we've never had a pokie machine.
"It's sad to leave but, it was time to move on, to do something different."
The new owners, a Sydney family, are believed to be committed to keeping the pokie ban.

"Often described as Scotland’s most haunted pub, part of The Banshee Labyrinth is located in some of the city’s underground vaults. It is also rumoured to be occupied by a banshee! The story goes that a group of workmen once heard a blood-curdling scream coming from the depths of the pub and a few hours later one of the men found out that a member of his family had died. There are also reports of drinks flying off tables and smashing into walls." [ inlingua-edinburgh.co.uk ]
Barcaldine, Queensland. The pub was opened in 1887 by the Lennon family from Ireland. It was the second Railway Pub. This pub and its forebears had a propensity for burning down, several times in fact, even while it was being rebuilt. Destroyed 1896, 1927 and again in 1929 when a rebuild was occurring. It seems like its run of bad luck ended there. How many Railway pubs in Australia, well, google will tell you!
