The Crystal Palace pub in Bath on Abbey Green. The tree just in shot is the hanging tree where - you guessed it - criminals were hung from.
Obviously this is an HDR shot - I did have the sky in exposure but thought it looked better being blown out. Vertical perspective slightly corrected.
So, I started working on a little font today and then Illustrator stopped working. Got pissed of, recovered a couple of letters and made this piece.
I know it's pretty hard to read but that's the fun of it :) Will come back with the whole font sooner or later.
Cheers!
Ran into PUBS & his girl @ SoDo, they were there painting the whole time I was, when I finally went down and looked at what they were up to...WTF, DAMN homie this shit is LIKE THAT...
Known as the Little plough to those who frequent it is a local corner boozer in the middle of Doncaster town centre. Although it has it's regulars and characters a friendly welcome is in store for all drinkers....Inside nothing has changed since the 1930's, a real little gem.
Siem Reap's nightspots are unexciting but I can recommend some good places to eat, none of them on Pub Street.
I liked Andre Malraux which is around the corner. A few blocks away, a place to definitely go is owner-chef Joannès Rivière's Cuisine Wat Damnak, which in March 2015 was effectively named best restaurant in Cambodia (it listed in UK Restaurant's Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants at no.50, a first for a Cambodian restaurant; it's affordable, open five days and you have to book ahead). Thai culinary expert David Thompson likes it too.
Marum was great (more on Tree Alliance's restaurants later) and I recommend Sugar Palm and the ice cream and coffee at any Blue Pumpkin. I went to Embassy as the chefs Pol and Sok had been mentored by a Michelin-hatted chef, but the degustation menu with wine, although interesting and a genuine try for haute cuisine, was expensive for Siem Reap (the food outclassed the wine).

I've been meaning to photograph this pub for a while. I pass it everyday and with the amount of redevelopment going on in Hamworthy, I wanted to capture it in case it gets knocked down, Sunday morning autumn walk 01.11.2015
Stopped off at the Crown in Sandon before the big match. It's a cracking pub in a beautiful village near Chelmsford. Very highly recommended! Chips - very nice, dipped in egg (7/10)
Nindigully Pub verandah. Left home yesterday at 5:00 am for what turned into a 900 kilometre day. 5:30am is pretty late for me and 900 kilometres also not a particularly large day either if anyone is wondering. So first stop along the road aside from Southbrook for a little splash of fuel, was the Nindigully Pub. For all my travels to B&S balls as a young bloke, I never attended the now not happening anymore, but possibly most famous of all B&S balls, The Nindigully B&S, in fact never even been west of Goondiwindi on this set of highways and roads, so totally new territory for me. Th e main reason for the trip will show up last of all but not necessarily in chronoligical order. So here are a couple of signs on the highway at Nindigully.

Eight different photos hand merged. Different photos are almost always needed where live TVs are being used. So the exposure has to be reduced and multiple frames taken. Then selected TV images are merged with the room photo.
I also opened the room photo and made it lighter then layered that with the main room image. This way the back part of the room that was naturally darker could be blended to make it appear brighter.
The final pub to be visited on the 2007 tour was this one The Haywain in the village of Little Corby near Carlisle. Also in the area, and visited on this day was The Lane End Inn at Haynton but for some unknown reason I did not photograph it 22 June 2007.
The Cable Station Inn, named for the station above it, which was built to receive the first underwater telegraph cable which came ashore at Porthcurno beach.
Historic Stowe pub reopens without the fleas, rats or mouldy walls
Visitors to the New Inn at Stowe gardens found much to complain about in the 18th century. Modern ones should not...
New Inn at Stowe
The newly restored tap room at Stowe's New Inn, minus the features that led to moaning from 18th-century guests.
At a cost of £9m the worst pub in Buckinghamshire is open again and ready to receive guests. However, the National Trust has not been entirely authentic in its restoration of the 18th-century New Inn at Stowe.
The fires are burning again in the grates, the beer barrels are ready in the tap room and the sheets are hanging in the laundry, but the fleas, the rats, the filth, the wallpaper breathing arsenic fumes from walls mouldy with damp, the dreadful food and the even worse beds are gone.
Lord Cobham built the New Inn in 1717 to feed and water visitors to the extraordinary front garden at his palatial home at Stowe: 250 acres studded with temples, columns, arches, obelisks, cascades, grottoes, and lakes.
The lakes were a three-dimensional allegory of liberal politics, with the Temple of Modern Virtue a deliberately tottering ruin sheltering only a headless bust of Louis XIV, and the Temple of British Worthies glorifying a motley crew including Isaac Newton, Elizabeth I, John Locke and Walter Raleigh.

"It was, then as now, the most important landscape garden in Europe, designed as a riposte to Versailles," said Richard Wheeler, the National Trust garden historian.
"It was all intended to ensure that the attentive visitor would never in their future life even contemplate voting Tory – though there is no evidence that this ever worked."
Visitors flocked to a garden which Wheeler described as "a theme- park-style tourist attraction of its time".
The inn, which also served as a pub for locals and estate workers, was built to cater for visitors who were well enough off to arrive by stage coach or post chaise and pay 6d for a guidebook without which they had no hope of making sense of the garden, but were not grand enough to be invited to stay in the house.

Cobham leased his pub to various landlords. Complaints from early guests, traced by an archaeologist, Gary Marshall, were vituperative. One visitor said that none of his party had been able to sleep a wink from the "fleas and gnats". Another moaned about "bad beds and worse eating". Marshall has also established that the cellars regularly flooded disastrously: he began his own work in the building standing in a foot of foetid water.
The complaints ended after the inn changed hands in the late 18th century and was considerably smartened up. By the end of the 19th century, when the gardens had bankrupted their owners and been stripped of many features, the New Inn had become a farm house.
The National Trust began an epic restoration of the gardens 20 years ago, but with the big house now one of the grander public schools, it had to operate from a glorified garden shed.
The trust bought the New Inn from the last private owners in 2005, when the roof was falling in, the floors had collapsed and the weed-choked yard was a graveyard of abandoned farm machinery.
During the restoration, which was done with the help of a £1.5m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, volunteers cleaned and recycled 128,000 roof tiles, revealing some startling obscenities scrawled by Georgian workmen. A new barn-like building, replacing one beyond restoration, was built to house a shop and cafe.
