marsh man Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Again some fascinating Pub names , a little bit of useless information , we all know our fellow member Simon ( Ditchman ) for his wit and cooking skills , well I am sure he won't mind me saying where he lived before he moved to be a Royal neighbour , he lived in a little village in the Yare valley called Cantley , I heard he was so well liked they called the pub after him , and yes you guessed right it is still called The Cantley Cxck , draw your own conclusions . Another strange pub we had before they moved the county boundaries was in Gorleston On Sea , it had a bar in one county and the lounge in another , at the time the pubs used to shut at 10.30 pm in Suffolk and at 11 pm in Norfolk , so on paper you could had gone out of one room then into another for an extra half an hour drinking time , but I suppose at the time no one really bothered what time they shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted October 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Stayed in a lovely old pub in Oakham, Rutland a few years ago called `The Old Pheasant`. Still got a large sign on the outside of a pheasant in flight. In comparison, we stayed in a pub in Ashbourne Derbyshire called `The Dog and Partridge`. At the time (probably 20 years ago) it had a lovely sign of a dog with a partridge in its mouth. Just looked at its website and not a dog or partridge in sight, just a `D&G` logo. That`s the woke society for you. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
