Did we??Not so much a favourite, as a 'topical (then) discovery' which a few of us rode past somewhere in Wiltshire last year - at Solstice time. We didn't go in.
Unlike William
They'll get lots of free houses...and bleat about how little one has to upkeep them and one needs a little more money from one's devoted public etc. He definitely needs the Vulcan ears addition!
Here is one in Todmorden that I rather like.
I feel curious to see what it is like, but I don't really want to go to pubs and not drink beer, and I don't trust myself to drink sensibly so I had better not do it at all!I have visited a lot of pubs in my life but the Golden Lion in Todmorden has to be in the top ten for weirdness, I enjoyed the visit though.
Sad to report that the Fanny on the Hill has now been knocked down and turned into flats.There's a pub in Welling called "Fanny on the Hill", I havent got a picture of the sign though.
In some ways you're right but I hold it in fond affection. I revisited it after a break of 25 years and the same miserable landlady was still serving.Here's one from Earl Sterndale in Derbyshire.
From my one visit, the sign is more notable than the pub.
Nice, and have you posted it in the Your cycle in front of a wall pics thread?
