A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Shakespeares
My first visit on the recent crawl,great interior with interesting ale.Run very close by Rutland Arms.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Selden Arms
Proper boozer.
"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."
-W.C.Fields
The Kentish Rifleman
Twentieth Century village pub, been on my list for years.
"At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer" Marquess Curzon of Kedlestone, Viceroy of India.
The Victoria, Durham.. Despite living on the County border with Durham in Stockton and passing through the town many times I'd never visited. On a great crawl taking in several worthy contenders I stopped off at the time warp that is the Victoria. Fyne Jarl was on but as this is so commonplace... I went for a pint of their Avalanche instead. Cocooned in the 1930s or so backroom I overheard conversations about train stops on the east coast main line and preston to Blackpool lines... Great memorable stuff.
Ahh,the Victoria! Last in there in 1975/6.Cracking pub,equalled by the late lamented Dun Cow at Billy Row.

Despite picking up six new pubs on the Sheffield meet-up, I'm looking to Newcastle for my POTM. The Cumberland Arms had been on my 'to do' list for ages and it didn't disappoint. Rather different from how I imagined it, but the two beers I tried were superb. I could quite happily have settled down for a major session, however, the drive back to Yorkshire beckoned.

I'm going for a Sheffield pub the Wellington. It's been spruced up under the Neepsend brewery and does a good range if their beers,

The pub that really sticks in the mind from last month is the John Bunyan, out in the country at Coleman Green, south of Wheathampstead - a McMullen pub too!
More helpfully to most people, I'll give the Sheaf View in the Heeley area of Sheffield a very honourable mention.
