Drank in at least in every English County

[Dave M]

I think I can claim to have had a drink in 17 counties. Quite surprised it is so many!!

Sadly I've never been to the White Post Inn, where it is supposedly possible to have a drink in both Dorset & Somerset within the same pub.

And lager doesn't count, so you have drank in 1 county

That's not fair! If I strip out lager/cider from my youth and only count real beer then I think I'm down to 5.

One bar in Hampshire, other in West Sussex.

I have been in there many years ago, looks like a repeat coming on mid Nov as I am up that way collecting fruit trees from Blackmoor on A272

Memo to self, take camera

Nothing compared to this pub..



Before county boundaries changed in 1974, this pub used to have 4 counties meets each other inside the pub! They were Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. There is counties boundary marker on celling in cellar.

Now pubs sits entirely in Warwickshire.

Thank Goodness, I am still trying to work out how to solve the placement of pubs in 2 counties

Just out of interest was there any reason for pubs being set astride county boundaries? One for Soups I think.

Wasn't it something to do with different licencing benches and permitted hours, if one county closed at say 10 and the other at 10:30 everyone moved to one end of the bar and continued drinking.

Another for the list was the Red Lion in West Dean, half in Hampshire, half in Wiltshire.

There is simple way to solve this problem.. check pub's postcode. Lets say if this pub is in Staffordhire and other in Warwickshire, if it got Staffordshire postcode then place it in Staffordshire section.

What do you think?
