Stop 10. Quiet. I checks that the vintage Jimmy Saville poster advertising the railways had been removed. Had been a feature for years on the wall facing the gents, most off-putting even before his notoriety.

Very quiet so we sat in the corner where the poster of Jimmy Savile used to stare down at you.

Mid day, the bar staff kindly opened up slightly early as they spotted us waiting outside. Our group appeared to be the only customers who were not eating. We were impressed by the Meccano models and Michelin Men that adorned the pub.
