I just hope they find the Mangle

Maybe they should call it that. 'The Mangle'.

The bar would have to be specially set up for him if he is going to be pouring the drinks. His eyesight isn't that good close up.

Since I'm a history buff, I'd like to see them restore the name, "The Bay Horse", along with the oldest known signage. The bus line serving the stop nearby still refers to the stop as "near the Bay Horse".

You might be interested to know Marianna that the name Bay Horse does not feature in the top 50 pub names in the UK . The top ten are:-

1. Red Lion
2. The Crown
3. Royal Oak
4.White Hart
5. The Swan
6.The Plough
7.The Bell
8.Rose &Crown
9.The Plough
10. Railway Tavern

Of course this is fairly fluid given the number of Pubs that are closing week on week in the UK

So sorry the perils of cut an mis-paste the Plough is at number 6 but the Queens Head should have been at number 9 so its off to the Tower for me.

Could be worse. You could have had to report to Pearl!.

Great for them, hope the pub does well. Sounded like he said they planned to have at least part of it opened up by summer 2019. May need to add this to my planned spots to visit when I get the chance to head over there.

Adding to this post because "tinkling the old Joanna" used to be a pastime in pubs everywhere and now its being encouraged in Stations . I think this is a brilliant story and worthy of its analogy with our show because of the age of this gentleman , it could easily have been Sir Norman Wisdom .

Sometimes names of bygone restaurants and/or pubs seem to live on the memories of bus riders. Here in the US, in Springfield, Virginia (near Washington, DC) there used to be a restaurant named Bob's Big Boy. And you guessed it, it became the name of the first out-bound bus stop Well, the restaurant has been long gone, but the stop is still referred to as Bob's by the bus riders much to the puzzlement of some of the drivers.
