Mid to late evening visit. The Guv's privately owned local brewery artefacts slowly being taken down, leaving the walls increasingly empty, prior to the pub changing hands after next weekend, being the end of an era.

Pub no.3. We wanted to get the bus here from the Artillery Arms but it didn't turn up on time so we walked the 50m. I was informed that I looked like Christopher Reeve by a local. I didn't live it down all day.
