Pub walk no 5...The village of Bolsterstone sits high [980ft] on a ridge separating Stocksbridge and the Ewden valley. Starting from the pub we were soon treated to great views along the valley taking in the More hall and Broomhead reservoirs with the high moorland beyond. However the walk took a turn for the worst as the route followed a road down to the valley, I try to avoid tarmac when out walking but after a few miles of it I had had enough.. Still we pressed on and arrived back at the village after a couple of hours, it was so hot I decided a nice cold Lager was needed....stepping into the pub was like stepping back in time, no frills with a 1970s feel to it. This was my sort of pub, made me wish I lived in a small village with a pub like this.
Longtime public house, The Square Pub closed in early March, for reasons other than the coronavirus. Its red door is now inscribed with farewells.

This Dennis Dart, Stagecoach 34592 (KP04 GZM) is seen at the end of Barby Lane, passing The Wheatsheaf on the Green, in Braunston. This is doing route 12 from Rugby to Daventry, which now serves the new Monksmoor Estate. This service is now rerouted via Dirft, Kilsby, and Barby, and no longer gets to Braunston via the A45, so this shot was not previously possible. Good news on the pub front too, as the miserable landlord that 'ran' the establishment over the last few years has now left, although sadly taking the outdoor tables with him! I hope the new owner does well, if he smiles just the once, it will at least be an improvement!

Arrived in Siem Reap around sunset, taking just over 2 hours from Hong Kong. it is a lively tourist destination with Pub Street the main strip.
‘THE GUILDFORD’
In the period 1880-1910 a unique breed of luxurious Pubs were built. This coincided with major changes to the city including the demolition of buildings such as The Turf Hotel and The Bridge Hotel which stood where Waverley Station stands today. Curiously, and perhaps as a reaction to it, pubs like The Guildford Arms were built during the height of the temperance movement. Their opulent character was in marked contrast to the dark and dingy bars of Edinburgh where ceilings were often not beyond the reach of a man’s arm. Without the pressure of the anti-drink lobby it seems probable that publicans would not have spent the vast sums of money needed to build pubs like The Guildford Arms, which remains today one of the few elaborately designed and ornamented bars to have survived from what has come to be known as the ‘Golden Age’ of Scottish pub design.

Looks like the poor old Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) sign on the roof of the pub of the same name in Kynuna, Queensland has taken a hit by a hungry dinosaur. This being dinosaur country and all! Sadly the early morning sun wasn't being kind to me despite the editing. Never mind, if you look closely beyond the picnic table, as seen in the following photos, you will see two cheeky Brolgas scratching away for left overs from the night before.
At least Bluey has a happy face!
A bit about this iconic pub
"The Blue Heeler Hotel in Kynuna, West QLD, an 1860s staging post for Cobb and Co. coaches, has a rich history imortalised in the famous Australian ballad Waltzing Matilda.
For it is here, it is claimed, that the bush poet Banjo Paterson first performed the tune. A claim however shared 180Km down the road at Winton’s North Gregory Hotel.
As the pub’s outgoing manager Pat Young explains though the Blue Heeler has had their version of history confirmed recently.
Folklore has it that the owner of nearby Dagworth Station, Bob Macpherson, told Paterson about the suicide of the shearer Samuel Hoffmeister beside the Combo Waterhole, 22km South East of the pub. It is said he had a last drink at the Blue Heeler.
This story inspired Paterson to write “Waltzing Matilda”. A sign on the wall declares the Blue Heeler to be the place where the song was, according to Young, first performed."
About the dogs themselves -
Are you In or out....the most important thing we have ever had to vote on in our lives and I have just realised I have not heard it mentioned once here on Flickr.
I made this photograph when having a wee dander round the streets of Belfast while the wife was shopping in Victoria Square. When I developed the film, I was surprised to find the image there, - I honestly can't remember the name of the pub, or the street it's in! if you know where it is, and what it's called - do let me know! LOL
(And no - I wasn't inside it!)
