The heritage of pubs

[growingvegetables]

NO - not the tacky plastic-pretend ones.

Prompted by this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35031879.

And finding a true gem of a pub in Halifax the other week. Doesn't look much from the outside.

But inside? Just wow! Somehow squeezed in (sounds like it's cramped, but it is not) - an octagonal central hall, and separate rooms, each with its own unique art-deco character. http://www.ossett-brewery.co.uk/pubs/three-pigeons-halifax

And the beer's superb.

I love pubs [a bit to much] take alook at the BEER IN THE EVENING forum it helps you find good and not so good pubs all over the country.

Shooters Arms just outside Nelson is the pub to go to.

The New Beehive in Bradford had bare wood boards, gas lighting, coal fires and a huge array of draft beers last time I was there. The Victoria in Harwood near Blackburn is pretty original. The New Inn in Clitheroe has several small rooms warmed by coal fires and a great selection of real ales. All are popular thriving pubs, while all around are plastic pubs selling Europiss and Brakes food and struggling to survive.

Howard Arms in Carlisle,for a wonderfuly tiled frontage,4 tiny rooms,steamy windows in Winter,good beer.What tales it could tell,as the theatre used to stand opposite.Reputedly has one of the highest turnovers of Theakston Best.

I feel some route-planning may be in order?

Carlisle has a fascinating pub heritage, with most being taken into government management between 1916 and 1973 in one of the biggest social engineering experiments ever conducted

The Philharmonic in Liverpool

Even the bogs are amazing!

I love a pub with a fine bog! Urinals like they should be!

I sometimes call in this pub ...

This pub is full of old charm ...It was about £1.80 a pint so it was full of old timers
I think it has the smallest toilet in country (not in use) its very small and its haunted

Well done that man,I remember well the pubs and the offlicence,though I never was able to drink in the pubs...much too young! Its just been pointed out to me that unless I want to be barred,I really ought to mention The Kings Head(ask for The Napper)to folk.So I have...superb beer,especially if you like a pint of Yates.

I was in Hales Bar in Harrogate the other week with its gas lights and all.
Very nice too. The oldest pub in Harrogate (so they say)
