Aah you noticed ! I thought the fish eye effect suited it quite well!!

On the Drainage dykes, drains, ditches, lanes, rheens, rhines or rhynes theme from Jim's pic on POTD this morning.

Reach in Cambridgeshire and the Dyke's End now a community run pub serving Woodforde's Wherry if CAMRA is correct. Nice touch Woodforde's do a home brew kit where you can brew your own at home!

Off on a bit of a tangent - what are the most common pub names ?
Queen Vic ?
xxx horseshoes ?
xxx bells ?

Any contenders ?

[Dormouse]

You might need this.

seems that where you stay has a big influence on pub names

[bobins]

I can find some Five Horseshoe pubs, and there's several Twelve Bells pubs, but what's the highest number featured in a pub name ?
I'm just hoping there's not a pub named 'The Infinity' as going on past form, we'll never be able to determine its actual value

[Dormouse]

There is an Infinity Pub in Brighton but you might prefer this one in Doha

Try topping this numbered mouthful.

Why have I heard of that , "the old thirteenth... etc" I have a suspicion it may have appeared on the pages of this very forum

Thread favourite which I dont think misses many has this everchanging list from its database, as pubs close and new ones open. Looks like the occupations of the past aren't being replaced by our current "job's". No examples yet in the uk of a hostelries called "The Youtuber", or "The Software Engineer" or "The Frackers Arms"

Here's the Pubsgalore's list in at 93 The Falcon

I followed your PubsGalore list and found it incomplete.

I would like to add the Den Inn and the Agenda to this list

[Dormouse]

I suppose technically they should be Scoonie but that shows no entries at all.
The Den Inn used to be good when we first moved down here but it has slithered to the very bottom of the dregs now ( and that is saying something in Levenmouth). The other establishment is the Agenda and can be relied on for excellent meals.

Try topping this numbered mouthful.

Wonder what the locals know it as ?

[Dormouse]

That would depend if they were heading there or leaving.

The publicity stunt!

About the Pub

Comfortable open plan lounge bar on two levels. A revival of the longest pub name in the country for Stalybridge (the original pub with this name was on Astley Street, and this pub was previously named the Stalybridge Tavern). The pub with the longest name is now a few doors away from the pub with the shortest name - the 'Q'. Live music features at weekends.
