Late afternoon to early evening. Two customers at the bar and another couple came in during our visit. We sat on the comfy sofas by the window.

A small crowd present. I liked all the railway stuff in here. I also liked the fact that participation in the group conversation (about dogs) was not compulsory and that it was possible to disappear unobtrusively into a corner to enjoy my pint.

Afternoon visit with a trickle of customers coming and going. I was horrified to see a Marshall loudspeaker being installed in the pub what was relieved to discover that it is only there for a pub quiz later in the day. I had not previously been aware that this pub is owned by the same people that run the nearby Yard of Ale.
