    5 for me, incl the Bridge at Topsham, though I don't remember the room that features in the photo here... how very careless of me!

    Four for me:

    Black Horse Hotel (thanks to Preston)

    The Harrow Inn (wonderful pub, but I'm not the only one to have encountered the landlady)

    The Prince Alfred (a 20-minute walk and a pub where I've spent more time than any other)

    Which Red Lion in Westminster?

    No, not that one - this one.

    Far enough, 'inn' indicates accommodation which very few of that title offer now.

    Number of pubs in England and Wales falls to record low

    https://www.theguardian.com/business...-soaring-costs

    If I knew how I'd check if the number of pubs listed here (and What?ub) reflect that.

    There are 49,097 pubs listed as open on this site, which is significantly higher than the 'below 40,000' reported in the article. Not sure what would account for such a significant discrepancy?

    Data was for E&W, would Scotland and NI be the discrepancy?

    Ah, sorry, I missed that - that brings the PuG figure down to around 43,500, I think.

    Still quite a big difference, but I suppose the various restaurants, cocktail bars, wine bars, hotel bars, industrial estate brewery taps etc... that are listed on this site, were probably not part of the sub-40,000 figure, and that there may be a number of closures we've yet to capture on here as well.
