Spritzer Swallower
Back in the good old days!!
Waiting to go to the Caribbean, so I am bored and thought I would give you all something to do while i am away. I have just come up with a mini list of pubs that are a step back in time, well worth a visit.
Rose and Crown, The (Wincanton Road, TA10 9QT (Known as "Eli's")
Turf Tavern (13 Wolverhampton Road, WS3 2EZ (known as "Tinkys")
Blue Anchor Inn (50 Coinagehall Street, TR13 8EL (known as "the Bible"
Drewe Arms, The (The Square, EX6 6QZ
Tuckers Grave Inn, The (Wells Road, BA3 5XF
Red Lion, The (Snargate, TN29 9UQ
Now it's your turn to list the great old fashioned pubs
Ps could I be called "The Bitter Maid"!!!

hi Liz
i meant to pop a picture on from the inside of Tinkys - the main room is fantastic - real step back - sadly the exterior, the other rooms and the courtyard leading to the loos show too much neglect, rather than trying to keep it ye olde worldy.
Walter Raleigh in East Budleigh is very traditional and springs to mind

Step back into the Second World war at The Mars, Portsmouth
http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/13587/
All that would be needed to recreate 1940 would be a few Tommies & Air Raid wardens and view in black & white
Herr Hitler missed this one, which is why in time warp
Not worth visiting BTW, unless you want real 1940s,indifferent beer & staff, no food, hard seats, scruffy, bomb damage [OK made last one up]

I will have to seek that out en route to the IOW next year, Farway
I did make me think of the Albion, Chester, which does the same for WWI

I'll stay on me own
I can offer you a couple in the Borough (that's South-East London, in the London Bridge area, if you're not sure).
The George is (or at least was - I've no reason to think that it's status has changed) owned by the National Trust. It's a galleried coaching inn, with a courtyard (somewhat spoiled by the modern glass-fronted building on 2 sides). Popular with tourists, as you'd imagine, and expensive (no surprise there, either). Service can be a bit hit and miss as can beer quality.
Err - is that a review - I see Pubs Galore hasn't visited yet - my experience is a few years old now.
The Royal Oak is no more than 10 minutes walk away - I have added comments there, saying how it seems unchanged in 30 years or so. Pub historians will surely approve.

fewer about now than when I started my drinking career, but here's a short list mostly favourites of mine,
a couple in York that are still fairly Edwardian
The Blue Bell
Minster Inn
one in Beverley, step back to 1880
Nellies
Harrogate, more victorian atmosphere
Hales Bar
Darkest Hampshire to enjoy prewar England
Newport Inn
and medieval style in Salisbury
Haunch of Venison
If you like the sixties here's three in Liverpool
The Nook
The Poste House
The Globe
come to think of it all the pubs in central Liverpool are Victorian/Edwardian, (like this one) 1960s or unpleasant modern things - they even have twigs
As most of you probably know CAMRA has a national inventory of this kind of pub, anyone got the full list?
-
Sun Inn at Leintwardine , not even got a till !!
Railway at Yorton unchanged since the 1930s
The Sun is probally the most unique pub in the country .
-
I suppose you could include the Railwaymans at Bridgenorth , Bathams and Steam engines .

This Space For Hire
http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/55269/
The Grapes, Leominster is old fashioned , very simple and very cramped.
http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/14312/
The New Inn, Pembridge. Black and white coaching inn, with interesting features, in a beautiful village.

The Bluebell in York is great
The Railwayman's Arm is heaven
The Great Western in Wolverhampton - i have reviewed that - is similar to the Railwayman in Bridgnorth
Hey Conrad - can we have a smiley with love hearts on, or something to show super-affection, to show just how much i feel for these pubs?
