Martin

I did Martin, in the Wheatsheaf, wasn`t impressed.

hang on there GD, that's my local ! !
It's up for sale and it's so empty now..
was it the beer or the landlord / barmaids that failed to impress ?

It's not a real ale pub, just a small local trying to survive..

The Wheaty is a nice pub

[JMLE]

You're not wrong, the Wheaty is a nice pub. The manager and his rotund daughter on the other hand . We've stopped going there now as it's hit and miss if they have Cains on and I can't stand the Courage or Tetley's.

Say what you like about the Victorians but at least they did care somewhat about the very poor and homless ie they supplied one important element to sustain life...the water fountain.

Good pics GD. Shame they can't make that fountain work again or at least make it look decent.
