Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJWJ - Exterior view of The Salutation, a historic Victorian pub on Higher Chatham Street in Manchester, close to Oxford Road, Manchester Metropolitan University and the city centre student quarter. The photograph shows the frontage with its distinctive copper-toned sign, tiled facade, hanging baskets and blue plaque, making it a strong editorial image for Manchester pub history, real ale culture, student life, heritage streetscapes and literary tourism. The Salutation, often known locally as The Sally, has long been associated with Manchester drinking culture, cask ale, craft beer, music, comedy and community events. Current listings give the address as 12 Higher Chatham Street, Manchester M15 6ED, while CAMRA records it as a cask ale pub operated by Manchester Metropolitan Students' Union. The building is also noted for its Charlotte Brontë connection: the pub's own history page says a commemorative blue plaque recognises Brontë's link with the site, and Manchester literary sources describe how Charlotte Brontë came to Manchester in 1846 with her father, Patrick Brontë, when he underwent eye surgery, and began work on Jane Eyre while staying nearby. The image may also suit archive and feature uses connected with old brewery branding, including Hardy's Ales and historic Manchester pub signs, although the visible frontage should be captioned primarily as The Salutation rather than as a brewery premises. Beyond its literary association, The Salutation has more recent cultural links, including accounts of Frank Sidebottom, Chris Sievey, The Fall and Manchester's alternative music scene. The upward viewpoint, urban light and warm illuminated signage give the image a documentary feel, useful for coverage of Victorian pubs, campus drinking places, Manchester heritage, Oxford Road Corridor regeneration, pub preservation, hospitality, real ale, local identity and the value of characterful pubs in a city increasingly dominated by redevelopment and chain venues.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97NJ - A documentary close-up of the historic Robinsons brewery complex in Stockport, framed to emphasise the dense layers of signage and architectural character that make the Unicorn Brewery instantly recognisable. Red brick industrial blocks rise behind older, more ornate front ranges, with multiple pieces of legible branding and wayfinding painted directly onto the buildings. The most prominent rooftop lettering reads F ROBINSON, while lower façades carry traditional trade wording such as BREWERS, BOTTLE and OFFICES, creating a strong visual shorthand for brewing heritage and long-established manufacturing in a town-centre setting. The mix of materials, including patterned brickwork and carved stone detailing around an arched window, adds a slightly Victorian, workmanlike elegance that feels rooted in the North West's industrial past.
The sky is changeable and cold-season in tone, with thick grey cloud and brighter breaks that give soft, even light across the brickwork without harsh shadows. That muted winter feel suits the subject, making the scene look authentic and everyday rather than staged: a working industrial landmark seen as part of the urban fabric. The composition works particularly well for editorial use because it tells the story through readable text and recognisable forms, without requiring people in the frame.
This image can illustrate a wide range of themes including British brewing history, family-run regional businesses, UK food-and-drink production, industrial architecture, and Stockport's heritage identity around the town centre and Underbank area. It is also useful for travel and destination features that reference brewery tours, visitor attractions, and the continuing cultural pull of traditional regional beer brands in Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DNNPYE - A broad view of the Robinsons Brewery, also known as the Unicorn Brewery, rising above Underbank in Stockport town centre. Red brick brewery buildings dominate the frame, their facades painted with large white lettering, including F Robinson and Brewery, so the purpose of the site is instantly clear. A tall central tower and adjoining blocks read as a working industrial complex that has grown over time, with different rooflines and sections joined together as the business expanded. In the foreground a weathered stone wall and black iron railings create a strong street level barrier, giving the sense of looking up from an older town centre route. A traditional street lamp to the right adds to the heritage character.
The sky is a vivid, cloudless blue and the brickwork is lit by bright, direct sunshine. Shadows are crisp, suggesting clear, dry conditions and a time of year when daylight is strong, most likely late spring or summer. There is no obvious rain sheen on the masonry and the overall palette feels warm and saturated, which helps the image work well for travel, lifestyle, and business reporting.
As a subject, a regional brewery supports multiple editorial angles. It can illustrate stories about independent producers, traditional manufacturing, local employment, supply chains, and the continued popularity of beer and pub culture in the UK. The integrated painted signage is useful for picture editors because it remains readable even when cropped.
For keywording and sales, keep the emphasis on what is visible: red brick industrial architecture, prominent brewery signage, tower structure, street railings, stone wall, and bright blue-sky sunshine. That combination makes the photo flexible for pieces about brewing, pubs, hospitality, northern towns, heritage buildings, and local business in Greater Manchester. The upward viewpoint and clean background make it a strong establishing shot for Stockport and its historic commercial streets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X9BPBB - A side-angle view of the Ship & Mitre public house, located at 133 Dale Street in Liverpool city centre, England. The image shows the full height of the historic stone-built corner building, with prominent blue signage identifying the pub as a free house and highlighting its long-established presence in Liverpool's drinking culture.
The Ship & Mitre, formally known as Stout's Ship & Mitre, is one of Liverpool's best-known traditional pubs and is particularly renowned for its extensive range of cask ales, bottled beers, and strong association with the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). The building dates from the early twentieth century and reflects the solid commercial architecture of Liverpool's former mercantile district.
Dale Street lies close to Liverpool's waterfront and civic quarter and has long been a hub for offices, shipping companies, and public houses serving the working city. The side view captured here emphasises the scale and prominence of the pub within the streetscape, while pedestrians nearby give a sense of everyday city life.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating British pub culture, historic pubs, real ale heritage, Liverpool architecture, urban streetscapes, tourism in Liverpool, and the continuing role of independent pubs in UK city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RADRX4 - A close view of a pub bar counter displaying three London-brewed ales on hand pumps: Five Points Pale, Kazbek from Redemption Brewing Company, and Young's London Original. A freshly poured pint of golden ale sits on the polished wooden bar, with the distinctive pump clips arranged behind it, representing a mix of independent and historic London breweries.
The scene captures the traditional presentation of cask-conditioned beer in an English pub, with hand-pulled pumps, branded clips, and a well-stocked back bar visible in the background. These beers reflect the diversity of London's brewing scene, combining long-established names such as Young's with newer independent breweries that have contributed to the city's modern craft-beer revival.
Photographed indoors under warm ambient lighting, the image documents everyday pub culture in England, illustrating themes of social life, hospitality, and British brewing heritage. It is suitable for use in editorial coverage relating to pubs, beer, London food and drink culture, and the contemporary UK brewing industry. Five Points Pale Five Points Brewing Company

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PK2AWN - The tiny Liverpool city pub Ye Cracke that was loved by Beatle John Lennon, The Beatle was known to even take girls on dates to the pub
Liverpool has plenty of links to The Beatles from The Cavern Club to The Casbah Coffee Club.
But there are some places in the city that have connections to the famous Fab Four which are lesser-known.
One of those places is Ye Cracke, hidden down a side street off Hope Street, on Rice Street.
Landlady of Ye Cracke, Zaidia Naif, told the ECHO: It's funny because a lot of local Liverpool people can't find the pub but The Beatles fans from as far as Mexico find it with no problem.
Obviously the pub has a big tourist pull because of the Beatles and its connection to John Lennon.
I have known fans to come as far as Japan, Australia, Canada and a lot from America.
Ye Cracke may be a seemingly normal, local boozer to many but to tourists it's known for being John Lennon's favourite watering hole.
When attending art school in Liverpool, former bartenders claim Lennon would drink Black Velvet, a cocktail made from Guinness and on top of sparkling wine.
He also took his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, on their first date after meeting her at a college dance.
Even to this day, a plaque can be found on the wall of the pub, commemorating an occasion in 1960 when Lennon, Stuart Sutcliffe, Bill Harry and Rod Murray attended the pub and formed a band called The Dissenters over a beer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N330D4 - CAMRA-acclaimed Appleton Thorn Village Hall bar in Cheshire is shown with a real ale tasting paddle, handpull beer pumps, illuminated bar counter and a chalkboard listing cask ales from breweries including Castle Rock, Salamander, Portobello, Acorn, Abbeydale and Tiny Rebel. The image captures a traditional volunteer-supported community bar at the heart of village life, where members and guests can enjoy real ale, cider, craft beer and social conversation in a local village hall rather than a commercial pub chain. Appleton Thorn Village Hall describes its bar as offering a warm welcome to members, while CAMRA notes that the hall has been CAMRA National Club of the Year more than once, with real ales mainly from independent breweries, many from Cheshire and North Wales, and third-pint paddles available. The photograph is commercially useful for stories about CAMRA, real ale, cask beer, volunteer-run bars, community pubs, village halls, social clubs, beer tasting, local breweries, hospitality, rural community life and the survival of traditional beer culture. The visible chalkboard prices, polished brass handpulls, beer mats, pump clips, tasting glasses and wooden paddle give the scene strong documentary detail and make it useful for editorial coverage of beer choice, cellar quality, community volunteering, club membership, social drinking and the role of village halls as informal public spaces. It can also illustrate wider debate about pub closures, rising hospitality costs, changing drinking habits, beer duty, local fundraising, independent brewing and the value of community-owned or community-run social venues. The warm indoor lighting, stocked back bar and line-up of different beer styles create an inviting image of real ale culture, showing not just a drink but a social tradition built around local knowledge, volunteers, conversation and shared community effort.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MA7MPH - Doctor Duncan's is named after William Henry Duncan, the UK's first Medical Health Officer. Duncan was born and raised in Liverpool before attending Edinburgh University where he qualified as a medical doctor. After moving back to his hometown Doctor Duncan was appointed as Medical Health Officer on 1 st January 1847, the first of this type of Senior Government role in Britain.
The pub, dating back to 1901, was built to house Pearl Insurance and is well known for its elaborately tiled interior. Now, in honour of its namesake, it houses an authentic Victorian pharmacy cabinet.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K96BHM - Greenall's Brewery was founded by Thomas Greenall in 1762. Initially based in St Helens, the company established a second brewery at Wilderspool, south of Warrington in 1787.
It bought the Groves & Whitnall Brewery in Salford in 1961, Shipstone's Brewery in Nottingham in 1978[4] and Davenport's Brewery in Birmingham in 1986. For much of the 20th century, the company traded as Greenall Whitley & Co Limited. The St Helens brewery was demolished in the 1970s to make way for a new shopping centre. The Warrington brewery on the edge of Stockton Heath was bought by Bruntwood, renamed Wilderspool Business Park and is now let to office occupiers.
The company ceased brewing in 1991 to concentrate on running pubs and hotels.
In 1999, the tenanted wing of the Greenall's operation was sold to the Japanese bank, Nomura for £370 million and the main Greenall's operation, involving 770 pubs and 69 budget lodges, was sold to Scottish and Newcastle for £1.1billion. Greenalls started to focus its resources on its De Vere and Village Leisure hotel branding at that time.
In February 2005, Greenalls sold The Belfry to The Quinn Group for £186 million.
The Greenall family connection remained as Lord Daresbury, the descendant of the original founder, remained the non-executive chairman. This tie was severed in 2006 when Daresbury stepped down from the post and much of the family's interest was sold
Greenall's ales are distributed by Carlsberg and brewed for them by Molson Coors in Burtonwood, near Warrington. Greenall's ales can still be bought in some pubs in the North West of England, although they are gradually disappearing (thank God!). Often, only Greenall's Mild can be found. Greenall's Bitter is 3.6% ABV. Greenall's Mild is 3.1%

THE HISTORY OF MEW, LANGTON AND COMPANY by Nick Redman, Whitbread's Company Archivist
In 1643 a Mr. Mewes held five plots of land in the Isle of Wight's capital. Although no document has been found that actually links him with the Mew family, there may well have been a connection. We do know that towards the end of the 18th century Benjamin Mew and his brother formed a partnership called Mew & Co. Brewers, with a brewery in Newport and another in Lymington. They also owned a number of pubs.
In 1850 the company was granted a royal warrant to supply Queen Victoria when she was in residence at Osborne House on the island. Soon afterwards the Newport plant was renamed the Royal Brewery. The firm continued to supply the Royal Household until George V's death in 1936. A 1911 price list includes Osborne Pale Ale and XXXS Nutritious Stout.
By 1965, the company had decided to accept a £1.5m merger offer from Strong & Co Ltd of Romsey. In 1969, bottling and brewing ceased at Newport, and the Royal Brewery became a distribution centre. By the end of the year Strong's had become part of the Whitbread group, and the 144 Mew houses on the island were soon being supplied with both company's products.
In 1973 the newly-established Whitbread Wessex built extensions to the bottled and draught beer storage area, and sited a new tobacco, wine and spirit warehouse in the old Mew Langton mineral water factory.
Five years ago, Whitbread began examining the future of its pubs on the island, which then numbered 112. Many were sold or closed. The Newport depot continued to operate until February this year

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMWGM2 - Close-up editorial image inside The Albion, a traditional real-ale pub on Park Street in Chester, showing a humorous blackboard drinks sign mocking lager culture from a cask-ale point of view. The chalked message advertises this week's lager with the deliberately crude punchline I can't believe it's not piss!!, using pub humour, beer snobbery and blunt northern wit to suggest that mass-produced lager lacks the flavour, character and authenticity of real ale. The scene captures the long-running cultural divide in British pubs between hand-pulled cask beer and colder, more industrial lager brands, with the joke implying that lager is so bland it may as well have been recycled from the toilets. The image is rich in pub atmosphere, with warm timber, traditional signage and a shallow depth of field that throws the background poster out of focus while keeping the joke board sharp. Useful themes include real ale, cask ale, CAMRA culture, pub banter, landlord humour, beer marketing, anti-lager sentiment, traditional pub interiors, humorous notices, chalkboard sign, British drinking culture, Chester pubs, Cheshire tourism, independent pubs, heritage hospitality, eccentric bar display, and consumer attitudes to taste and quality in beer. It works as a documentary photograph of pub culture, ale-house identity, and the performative rivalry between lager drinkers and cask-ale loyalists in England. The board also reflects the kind of knowingly exaggerated sarcasm often found in long-established free houses, where personality, conversation, and local character are part of the product as much as the drink itself. For picture researchers, editors and travel writers, the frame offers strong keywords around pub signs, beer jokes, UK leisure, food and drink tourism, old-school boozers, local humour, hand-written messages, and authentic Chester interiors rather than polished chain-pub branding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBYBY - Chipping Campden is a market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It is notable for its terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. (Chipping is from Old English cēping, 'market', 'market-place'
the same element is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury and Chipping (now High) Wycombe.)
A wool trading centre in the Middle Ages, Chipping Campden enjoyed the patronage of wealthy wool merchants, most notably William Greville (d.1401). The High Street is lined with buildings built from locally quarried oolitic limestone known as Cotswold stone, and boasts a wealth of vernacular architecture. Much of the town centre is a conservation area which has helped to preserve the original buildings. The town is an end point of the Cotswold Way, a 102-mile long-distance footpath.
Chipping Campden has hosted its own Olympic Games since 1612.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DD8JBH - The Erskine is believed to have built around the 1830s/1840s.
The building was owned for many years by the Erskine family who were significant landowners in the area during the 19th century. The Dowager Lady Erskine was known for her philanthropy. During hard winter weather in 1864, for example, she gave £20 of coal to the poor of Conwy and Llandrillo-yn-Rhos. She was also the main supporter of the Conway Clothing Club, which helped to provide clothes to poor and elderly people.
The Erskine Arms was enlarged considerable during the late 19th century. Mr R Roberts, landlord of the Erskine Hotel during this time, was one of the first people to fall foul of the Welsh Sunday Closing Act 1881, which outlawed the sale of alcohol on Sundays to anyone except travellers who had journeyed more than a certain distance before stopping at a hostelry. In September 1881 Mr Roberts was fined £5 after a police officer discovered a couple of drunks at the Erskine who did not appear to be genuine travellers.
The Erskine Hotel kept its own stables into the early 20th century, when it would supply horses to pull Conwy's new fire engine as required. Horse sales were often held in the Erskine Hotel yard. In 1907, buyers travelled from as far afield as the Midlands to buy some of the 55 useful harness horses and cobs which were for sale. Horse-drawn vehicles and harnesses also featured in the sales. The Conway Horse Show Society held its committee meetings and dinners at the Erskine.
During a livestock fair in 1899, a young heifer wandered into the hotel, walked around the billiard table and even climbed the stairs to the first landing before being shooed out!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2C59GH7 - Weetwood Ales began brewing in 1992 when finding a great pint of cask ale was a challenge. The brewery was founded by Adrian Slater, a skilled brewer, and Roger Langford, a farmer with space in a barn and a love for proper beer. Roger's farm is in Weetwood Common, near Tarporley in Cheshire and the brewery took the name.
From day one, the brewery combined in-depth knowledge of a very large brewery with the passion, dedication, service and humility of a small business. Weetwood's enduring reputation for consistency and quality developed and a large, loyal following resulted.
Word spread, awards were won and output increased. A talented team of skilled people was built up and a new, bigger brewery was built. In 2014, Adrian and Roger took a well-deserved step back and new owners Phil McLaughlin and Laura Humby arrived. Phil and Laura are a brother-and-sister team who bring passion, experience and enthusiasm to continue to produce and supply great beers.
The founders remain involved along with most, if not all, of the original customers, still serving Weetwood Ales for beer lovers who come back for another.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02FA - Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, KG, GCB, GCH, PC, FRS (1 May 1769 14 September 1852) was a Anglo-Irish statesman, soldier, and Tory politician who was one of the leading military and political figures of 19th-century Britain, serving twice as prime minister of the United Kingdom. He is among the commanders who won and ended the Napoleonic Wars when the Seventh Coalition defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
Wellesley was born in Dublin into the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. He was commissioned as an ensign in the British Army in 1787, serving in Ireland as aide-de-camp to two successive lords lieutenant of Ireland. He was also elected as a member of Parliament in the Irish House of Commons.

Following Napoleon's exile in 1814, he served as the ambassador to France and was granted a dukedom. During the Hundred Days in 1815, he commanded the allied army which, together with a Prussian Army under Field Marshal Gebhard von Blücher, defeated Napoleon at Waterloo.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAEJ3X - Wellpark Brewery is a brewery in Duke Street in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland.
It was founded in 1740 on the bank of the Molendinar Burn by Hugh and Robert Tennent. It is owned by C&C Group plc, which purchased the Tennent Caledonian Breweries subsidiary in late August 2009 from Belgian brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev (formerly known as InBev).
The company produces Tennent's Lager, Scotland's market leading brand of pale lager since it was first produced at the Wellpark Brewery in 1885.
Wellpark Brewery was originally known as the Drygate Brewery. It was founded as H & R Tennent in 1740 at Drygate Bridge, near Glasgow Cathedral, by Hugh and Robert Tennent, although brewing had taken place at the same site on the banks of the Molendinar Burn by their ancestor, Robert Tennent, since 1556, making it the oldest continuous commercial concern in Glasgow.
Hugh Tennent's sons, John and Robert, continued the family business, trading as J & R Tennent from 1769. The business expanded in the 1790s when the Tennent family purchased the neighbouring brewery of William McLehose, and renamed the 5-acre (20,000 m2) site Wellpark Brewery.
The firm originally brewed stout and strong export ales. By the mid-19th century J&R Tennent was the world's largest bottled beer exporter. Robert Tennent died in 1826 and John Tennent in 1827. Hugh Tennent (the eldest son of Robert) then assumed control of the business. Hugh Tennent retired in 1855 with his fifth son, Charles Tennent, taking over, but he died in 1864, some months before his father. The brewery was subsequently operated by trustees on behalf of Charles Tennent's sons, Archibald and Hugh.
In 1884 Hugh Tennent took control of the company and first brewed Tennent's lager in 1885. He later built a new lager brewery on the Wellpark site, which was begun in 1889 and completed in 1891. J&R Tennent produced the first draught lager in 1924, the first canned lager in 1935 and the first keg lager in 1963.

The Appleton Thorn Village Hall near Warrington has been named the best in the country in CAMRA's Club of the Year 2019 awards, one of the most respected and well-known club awards in the UK.
This is the second time and almost 10 years to the date that the former school has won the accolade for its ever-changing range of seven beers from regional and micro-breweries. The attractive sandstone building is the hub of the community, housing a comfortable bar area, small pool room, garden area and bowling green. Home cooked food is served at Sunday lunchtime and the function room hosts quizzes, live music and an annual beer festival in October. The recent addition of a gin bar has proved popular with the club's members.
Keith Spencer, Club of the Year organiser said: This club is the very hub of the community, from hosting pre-school events to yoga, dance, Guides and rehearsals for the Vale Royal String Orchestra! It is a very deserving winning of this year's Club of the Year competition and a shining example of the intrinsic role that clubs can play in their local areas.
Chris Massey, Steward of the Appleton Thorn Village Hall said: It is a huge honour to not only win the Club of the Year title once but twice! We are a true community club and take pride in hosting a range of activities and events for our locals and serving great beers as well.
The CAMRA Club of the Year competition is run in conjunction with Club Mirror magazine, with the simple aim of finding the clubs with the greatest commitment to quality real ale those which offer a fantastic atmosphere, welcoming surroundings and most importantly, top quality real ale served in great condition. Clubs are nominated by CAMRA branches across the country and judged by a panel of volunteer CAMRA members throughout the year.
Other finalists include the Real Ale Farm in Bargoed, Wales
the Canine Club in Accrington
and the Egham United Services Clu

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AERPGA - A craft brewery or microbrewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer, typically less than large breweries, and is often independently owned. Such breweries are generally perceived and marketed as having an emphasis on enthusiasm, new flavours, and varied brewing techniques.
The microbrewing movement began in both the United States and United Kingdom in the 1970s, although traditional artisanal brewing existed in Europe for centuries and subsequently spread to other countries. As the movement grew, and some breweries expanded their production and distribution, the more encompassing concept of craft brewing emerged. A brewpub is a pub that brews its own beer for sale on the premises
The term microbrewery originated in the UK in the late 1970s to describe the new generation of small breweries that focused on producing traditional cask ale independently of major brewers or pub chains. In 1972, Martin Sykes established Selby Brewery as the first new independent brewing company for 50 years
Some British brewpubs specialize in ale, while others brew continental lagers and wheat beers. The Ministry of Ales, Burnley
The Masons Arms in Headington, Oxford
The Brunswick Inn, Derby (in 2010, half of the beers sold by the establishment were brewed on-site)
The Watermill pub, Ings Cumbria
and the Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds are some examples of small independent brewpubs in the UK.
The city of Bristol was identified by The Guardian in May 2014 as an area where the microbrewery industry had flourished. Ten brewpubs, such as Zerodegrees, The Tobacco Factory, Copper Jacks Crafthouse and The Urban Standard, were identified as thriving Bristol craft beer establishments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84K28 - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer.

The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGY9 - William Robinson purchased the Unicorn Inn from Samuel Hole on 29 September 1838. His eldest son George brewed the first Robinsons Ale there in 1849.
In 1859, Frederic Robinson took over from George and bought a warehouse to the rear of the inn to expand brewing capacity. As a result, Robinsons ale became available at pubs around the Stockport area. To control the quality of ale sold, Frederic began to purchase public houses. From 1878 until his death in 1890, Frederic established twelve pubs which exclusively served his ale. This was the beginning of what was to become an estate of over 300 pubs across the North West of England and North Wales.
The Unicorn Brewery still rests on the foundations of the public house on Lower Hillgate in Stockport.
The brewery continues to be run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Robinson family. The company took over Hartley's Brewery in Ulverston in 1982, closing it and transferring the brewing of Hartley's beers to Stockport in 1991. Robinsons have acquired a number of other breweries over the years, including John Heginbotham, Stalybridge (1915)
T. Schofield & Son, Ashton under Lyne (1926)
Kays Atlas Brewery, Ardwick (1929) and Bell & Co, Stockport (1949).
The brewery owns many historic pubs, including the New Hall Inn in Bowness on Windermere.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFF90 - Thwaites Brewery is a regional brewery owned by founded in 1807 by Daniel Thwaites in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. The firm still operates from its original town centre site, although the original brewery was demolished in 2011, and part of its beer business was sold to Marston's in March 2015. Today, Thwaites still produces beer but it in much smaller quantities as it only sells to its own estate of pubs, inns and hotels. In 1999, the Mitchell brewery in Lancaster closed down, and was bought in part by Thwaites. Lancaster Bomber has since been available from Thwaites public houses after being acquired in the takeover. Lancaster Bomber is now brewed by Marston's, as is Wainwright, the other top-selling Thwaite's beer.
The company has over 270 pubs, mainly in the North of England but reaching from the North Lakes area down to Solihull & Leicestershire. It also has six four-star Hotels & Spas and eight Inns of Characters
The brewery invested heavily in pasteurised keg beers, especially those powered by nitro in the 1990s. However, it is now working to increase the market for its cask beers. Thwaites unveiled a new craft brewery in December 2011 named Crafty Dan

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6M8 - The Black Friar Pub. Post-1903 work by Herbert Fuller-Clark (b.1869, d. after 1912). Original building 1875. Remodelled in several stages beginning 1903, 1914, and 1925. 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Individual sculptures by Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick Callcott, Henry Poole, and Farmer and Brindley. According to Philip Ward-Jackson,
Hitch was responsible for the stonework grotesques on the exterior, and for a considerable amount of similar work in wood in the interior. Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Caröe and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYM3 - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DCW9 - A coaster, drink coaster, beverage coaster, or beermat is an article used to rest beverages upon.
The purpose is to protect the surface of a table or any other surface where the user might place their beverage.
Public houses usually will have beermats spread out across the tables. They are used not just to protect the surface of the table, but, as they are usually made of paper, they can also be used to absorb condensation dripping along the glass or serve as an ad-hoc notepad. Beermats are often branded with trademarks or alcohol advertising. Beermats are not to be confused with bar mats, rectangular pieces of rubber or absorbent material used to protect the counter top and soak up spilled drinks in a bar or pub.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7NBEB - A smiling male beer server in a red waistcoat holds a large glass stein of golden lager with a thick white foam head at Oktoberfest in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The photograph shows a classic hospitality and festival scene, with traditional service clothing, outdoor beer garden seating, decorative greenery and red and white Bavarian ribbons visible above the table area. Bright daylight and the strong highlights on the beer glass suggest dry, sunny weather during the autumn festival season. The image is commercially useful for editorial features on Oktoberfest, Munich travel, Bavarian beer culture, German hospitality, tourism, seasonal festivals, beer halls, food and drink service, visitor economy, hospitality staffing, traditional costume, waiter service, event catering and European city breaks. The server's red tabard or waistcoat, white shirt and name badge create a professional beer tent look associated with organised festival venues, while the oversized foaming beer stein is a strong visual shorthand for Munich's world famous beer festival. Oktoberfest is held on the Theresienwiese in Munich, a large festival ground in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district, and is widely known locally as the Wiesn. The event is closely linked with Bavarian brewing, beer tent culture, brass music, traditional clothing, regional food and the seasonal movement from late September into early October. This image can support travel guides, news pieces and stock photography uses covering German traditions, beer tourism, European holidays, public celebrations, hospitality work, cultural identity, tourist spending, festive drinking, outdoor dining, restaurant service and the global appeal of Oktoberfest as a symbol of Bavaria. The portrait format, eye contact, friendly expression and prominent beer stein make it suitable for articles or promotional material needing an approachable human face for Munich Oktoberfest, Bavarian beer service and German festival hospitality.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY5KEF - Timothy Taylor's famous award-winning Best Bitter has been renamed Boltmaker.
The tipple has been given the rebranding following a competition, which attracted over 450 entries.
The winning entry was from Phil Booth, landlord of the Boltmakers Arms in East Parade, Keighley. He has received £1,000 which he is donating to Manorlands and 36 gallons of the newly-named beer.
This is just fantastic when I entered I never expected to win, said Phil. What could be better for business than having a beer called Boltmaker on my bar! It will help to spread the name far and wide.
Timothy Taylor sales director Grant Simpson said: Exactly 60 years ago we ran a similar competition to name a beer it became Landlord and has grown into an iconic brand.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4MNN - Half Hangit' Maggie
Maggie Dickson lived in the Early Eighteenth century as a fish hawker and would certainly have remained an anonymous figure had she not been the subject of a public hanging.
Her misfortune began when her husband deserted her in 1723 forcing her to leave the city and move further south to Kelso near the Scottish Borders. Here, she worked for an inkeeper in return for basic lodgings.
Soon after she started an affair with the Innkeeper's son which led to her becoming pregnant, not wanting the innkeeper to discover this as it would surely lead to her instant dismissal she concealed her pregnancy as long as possible. However the baby was born prematurely and died within a few days of being born. Still hiding the baby's existance she planned to put the baby into the River Tweed, but couldn't bring herself to and finally left it on the riverbank.
The same day the baby was discovered and traced to Maggie. She was charged under the contravention of the Concealment of Pregnancy Act and she was taken back to Edinburgh for Trial and execution the latter taking place in public in the Grasssmarket on the 2nd September 1724.
After the hanging she was pronounced dead and her body was bound for Musselburgh where she was to be buried, however the journey was interrupted by a knocking and banging from within the wooden coffin.
The lid was lifted to the sight of Maggie, quite alive. The law saw it as God's will and she was freed to live for a further forty years. She became something of a local celebrity and the locals gave her the nickname 'Half Hangit' Maggie.'
Some said that she had seduced and manipulated the ropemaker, to engineer a weaker noose.
A pub in the Grassmarket is named Maggie Dickson's after her memory, which means her name and story will be remembered for some time yet.

It would be difficult to have a Cream of Wolverhampton even though Banks's beer is very good. People do not aspire to visit Wolverhampton. On the whole they try to by-pass it.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B0B - Beer in Belgium varies from pale lager to lambic beer and Flemish red. There are approximately 180 breweries in the country, ranging from international giants to microbreweries
Beer in Belgium dates back to the age of the first crusades, long before Belgium became an independent country. Under Catholic church permission, local French and Flemish abbeys brewed and distributed beer as a fund raising method. The relatively low-alcohol beer of that time was preferred as a sanitary option to available drinking water. What are now traditional, artisanal brewing methods evolved, under abbey supervision, during the next seven centuries.
The Trappist monasteries that now brew beer in Belgium were occupied in the late 18th century primarily by monks fleeing the French Revolution. However, the first Trappist brewery in Belgium (Westmalle) did not start operation until 10 December 1836, almost 50 years after the Revolution. That beer was exclusively for the monks and is described as dark and sweet. The first recorded sale of beer (a brown beer) was on 1 June 1861

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHBR - William Brodie (28 September 1741 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of a trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design, ...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity.

Brodie's alter ego
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose father owned furniture made by Brodie, wrote a play (with W. E. Henley) entitled Deacon Brodie, or The Double Life, which was unsuccessful. However, Stevenson remained fascinated by the dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature and was inspired to write The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886).[1]
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner of the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close off the Royal Mile, which contained his family residence and workshops, still bears the name Brodie's Close. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue.

In 1923, the company bought the newly merged Walker Cains' Brewery in Liverpool's Stanhope Street following that company's decision to focus production at its Warrington brewery.

In 1962, Higsons purchased a new head office in North Street, Liverpool. 1974 saw the brewery merge with James Mellor & Sons. In 1978, Higsons acquired the Bent's Brewery, which was based next to its North Street head office. The vendor was the Bass Brewery. Boddingtons of Manchester acquired Higsons in 1985 but decided to abandon brewing in 1989 to focus on its pubs. Boddingtons' brewing arm was sold to Whitbread in 1990 which then subsequently closed the Higsons Stanhope brewery.

Nil Nimium Cupito Mee 1722
The George and Dragon is a public house in the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.
Great Budworth is a village that was formerly in the estate of Arley Hall. In the later part of the 19th century, its owner, Rowland Egerton-Warburton, undertook a campaign to restore the village and render it picturesque in Victorian eyes.
The George and Dragon was at that time a simple three-bay Georgian inn. In 1875 Egerton-Warburton commissioned the Chester architect John Douglas to undertake the restoration. Douglas added tall rubbed chimneys, mullioned windows and a steep pyramidal turret
On each side of the porch is an oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings. Above the inner door is a stone containing a verse written by Egerton-Warburton. Internally, in the bar, is a stone inscribed in Latin and the date 1722

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DA8AKJ - The Bear at Marlborough at dusk , Wiltshire , England , UK SN8 1LZ
Marlborough is a beautiful, ancient town bristling with fine buildings - and they don't come much better than The Bear Hotel.
Arkell's bought the pub in 1987 and these days there is no mistaking a place that is enthusiatically listed in The Good Pub Guide.
With its front in the High Street, facing the old Town Hall, and its side in The Parade, The Bear Hotel is a magnificent sight. It is late 19th century Jacobean and Georgian in style and has looked this way since 1889 after it was luxuriously re-built, but there had been an inn here at least by 1757.
A directory of 1914 was emphatic in its praise of The Bear Hotel. The house is fitted with all the latest and best appliances, it said. Wines, spirits and cigars of the finest quality and good stabling. It was then called The Bear and Castle and at some point was rechristened - possibly to avoid confusion with other Marlborough pubs with similar names.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 7706160488 - 'One of my favourite watering holes in Edinburgh New Town, only 10-15 mins walk from Princes St area. Its well worth a walk for a great range of real ales and whiskies. I have spent a good few hours in there with my good friend Stephen Buchan. A chap who appreciates a real ale or two.
Originally a Georgian coach house, in the early Victorian era the building was remodelled into John Kay and Sons, Wines and spirits Merchants. Sympathetically modified in the 1970's the bar hosts a plethora of original Victorian features. its a bit like going back in time, reminds me a little of Mulligans in Dublin. Shame no one has written a novel covering a single drunken day around Edinburgh yet. If so, this pub should surely be in it.
Usually available are Budvar, Leffe, Budvar Dark, Innis &
Gunn, Furstenberg Frei, Corona, Magners, Becks, crabbies, Draught Guinness, Strongbow, fizzy Fosters &
Kronenburg.
I have never eaten there, but they do mince/haggis neeps and tatties \u00a34.10, Scotch pie beans and chips for under \u00a34. More up market herring salad just over a fiver.

'Life Begins at the Hop' is a single by XTC released in 1979. Their fifth single, it was the first indication of a change in their late-seventies sound from urgent post-punk to power pop. As their sound changed, so too did their line-up as keyboardist Barry Andrews was replaced by second guitarist Dave Gregory prior to its recording. The song title references the 1950s' rock 'n' roll classic 'At The Hop'
indeed, the song itself carries a strong early rock 'n' roll influence.
The song is a celebration of 'youth club culture'. 'The hop' of the title refers to popular gatherings sanctioned by local youth clubs as attempts to maintain some measure of control over the types of influences underage attendees would be exposed to in a supervised social environment.
It is also significant for being bassist Colin Moulding's first A-side composition for the group. Though the single just missed the Top Fifty, it established his prominence within the group.
'Homo Safari', the B-side, was the first in Partridge's 'Homo Safari Series', a six-part series of ambient, impressionistic instrumentals.
XTC, very British, very talented. Check them out, tell 'em I sent you!
When I think of hops I think of warm British beer and George Orwell in his novel 'A Clergymans Daughter'.
George Orwell tried his hand at hop-picking at Blest's Farm, somewhere near West Malling, in September 1931, travelling down from London disguised as a tramp. He spent his time living in a Hopper Hut made of tin (corrugated iron), thus discovering that fruit and hop picking was not quite the idyllic life described by many scholars and writers of the time. Orwell earned 9/- in a week, and observed that a family of gypsies who had picked every year since birth earned 14/- each. His account was published in A Clergyman's Daughter in 1935.
Hops are the female flower clusters (commonly called seed cones or strobiles), of a hop species, Humulus lupulus. They are used primarily as a flavoring and stability agent in beer, to which they impart a bitter, tangy flavor, though hops are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine.
Hops were cultivated continuously around the 8th or 9th century AD in Bohemian gardens in the Hallertau district of Bavaria and other parts of Europe. However, the first documented use of hops in beer as a bittering agent is from the eleventh century. Before this period, brewers used a wide variety of bitter herbs and flowers, including dandelion, burdock root, marigold, horehound (the German name for horehound means 'mountain hops'), ground ivy, and heather.
Hops are used extensively in brewing for their many purported benefits, including balancing the sweetness of the malt with bitterness, contributing a variety of desirable flavors and aromas, and having an antibiotic effect that favors the activity of brewer's yeast over less desirable microorganisms. Historically, it is believed that traditional herb combinations for ales were abandoned when it was noticed that ales made with hops were less prone to spoilage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDN2 - The Canny Man's pub in Morningside is an Edinburgh institution established in 1871 and passed down through generations of the Kerr family. It is a free house, as free as the wind as Mr Kerr used to say, therefore it has no connection with any brewery and only sells the best of each brewers produce.
The public house serves food everyday from 12 - 3 pm and in the evenings from 6.30 - 9 pm (except Friday / Sunday nights). A snack menu is available till 5 pm. The food that is served is seafood and SMØRREBRØD sandwiches. Introduced many years ago, it has been tailor-made to suit customers needs, and freshly prepared each day, it is ideal as a drinker's meal.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Well, Dewsbury West Yorkshire actually! Its the other end of the ale trail to Stalyvegas, in case you were wondering....
From 1848 to 1968, when British Rail gasped its last puff of steam, Wellington Road Station was a thriving giant on the Trans-Pennine route. The next 25 years saw it decline and most of it closed as it was de-manned.
That all changed in 1994 when the old waiting rooms were renovated and converted into a bar. The high street banks and big breweries did not want to know. But with the help of the Co-op Bank and an independent Lincolnshire brewery, Batemans, of Skegness, Mike Field was able to realise his dream.
The bar is situated in the original railway station building as operated by London and North Western Railways (LNWR). The Italianate/Tudor style is very unusual and is best appreciated from the car park (former Goods Yard). Perhaps most unusual is the use of an Arabic Arch in each doorway and window and in the re-discovered archways which separate each room.
The West Riding does a mean \u00a33 bacon &
sausage bap with brown sauce. Worth a trip to have one even if you are tee-total.
'Last Train to Trancentral (Live from the Lost Continent)', was a successful acid house KLF single from April 1991. It reached no 2 in the UK Singles Chart and achieved international top ten placings.
It was used by Exeter City FC during their promotion season 2007-08 prior to kick-off in order to generate an atmosphere.
With The KLF's profits, Drummond and Cauty established the K Foundation and sought to subvert the art world, staging an alternative art award for the worst artist of the year and burning one million pounds sterling. As we all now know, Exeter City could have done with that cash!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5695317409 - 'One of Northern Ireland's best-known pubs, it is a rare and classic example of a Victorian gin palace. Its one of my favourites, similar to the Phil' in Liverpool and one more reason to consider staying at the famous Europa hotel over the road.
It was opened as The Railway Tavern, as the Great Victoria St train station is just opposite. The pub was then bought by Michael Flanagan. His son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Flanagan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978 the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a \u00a3400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of \u00a3500,000. As a NT member myself it would be nice to get a free pint on production of my NT membership card. I might take that up with them.
The pub was used as a location in David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998), a film following Colin Bateman's character Dan Starkey through a web of political intrigue and Irish sectarian violence. I would fully recommend the book and many more of his books in the same style.
The exterior is decorated in polychromatic tiles. This includes a mosaic of a Crown on the floor of the entrance. The interior is also decorated with complex mosaics of tiles. The red granite topped bar is of an altar style, with a heated footrest underneath and is lit by gas lamps on the highly decorative carved ceilings.
The Crown has ten booths, or snugs. Built to accommodate the pub's more reserved customers during the austere Victorian period, the snugs feature the original gun metal plates for striking matches and an antique bell system for alerting staff. Extra privacy was then afforded by the pub's etched and stained glass windows which feature painted shells, fairies, pineapples, fleurs-de-lis and clowns.
This has been formed from 29 images and the original size is 17000x7000 pixels.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEHRHC - The Crown Liquor Saloon, also known as the Crown Bar, is a pub in Great Victoria Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Refurbished in 1885, and at least twice since, it is an outstanding example of a Victorian gin palace, and one of Northern Ireland's best-known pubs. It is owned by the National Trust and is leased to Mitchells & Butlers who run it as a Nicholson's pub

Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at St. James's Gate, Dublin, Ireland, in 1759. It is one of the most successful alcohol brands worldwide, brewed in almost 50 countries, and available in over 120. Sales in 2011 amounted to 850,000,000 litres (190,000,000 imp gal
220,000,000 U.S. gal). In spite of declining consumption since 2001, it is the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. Brewery makes almost €2 billion worth of beer annually.

Hosting regular traditional sessions there is no better place to sample the real taste of our city simply step in and drink an Irish whiskey washed down with a pint of creamy stout.
Imagine Belfast with only five streets. Protected by earth ramparts and the city walls, the area where the Dark Horse now stands was convenient to the old iron foundry, the pottery, the whiskey merchants and the brown linen hall. Appreciate the superb décor and special atmosphere with beautiful antique mirrors, Belfast furniture and artefacts from some of the city's most famous hotels and buildings from bygone times providing a rather rare and unique glimpse of Belfast's historical past. Just call in and you will enjoy a huge warm welcome from a truly Belfast institution with a huge heart.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4648054002 - 'The Fishermans Haunt was originally built as an inn dating back to 1673. This set of shots, joined in a Hockney stylee was taken just after my breakfast. I have always been a fan of his photo stage, when he did many 'joiner' panoramas. It inspired me to have a go and the fascination in takeing something that no one had ever taken or visualised before has always excited me. So no apologies for rough edges(!).
The Fullers brewery write up describes it as 'this olde worlde property is full of period features, character and charm. All 12 bedrooms are stylish and furnished to an excellent standard. We take great care in choosing our beds and bed linen, so that our guests have a comfortable and relaxing sleep'.
It goes on 'The restaurant enjoys an excellent reputation for good home-cooked food, using the finest local produce, good wines and Fuller's award winning beers. The Fisherman's Haunt is close to the New Forest, within easy reach of the Christchurch and Bournemouth areas and is ideal for the country lover and angler, with the River Avon being close by'.
Being a fan of Fullers beers I have stayed there a few times while in the area, although the Woolpack just a short walk towards Ringwood is my usual choice for food. The 'Haunt is doing more local food and food sourced from local New Forest ingredients now I have noticed, which can only be a good thing.
To check it out, The Fishermans Haunt can be found on Salisbury Road, Winkton, Christchurch, Dorset, BH23 7AS, England Tel: 01202 477283

Unfortunately I could not drop in to sample any of the seasonal ales on offer :-( . Purely in the interests of providing additional information you understand!
The Ring Of Bells is situated in the yard adjacent to St Elphins ( www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/4163626967/ ), Warrington's principle central church. The building is grade I listed in the same manner as the church. Its a fine traditional boozer and watering hole.
There are five constantly changing real ales alongside the usual suspects (lagers, alcopops etc). Dave down there has Cask Marque accreditation and are regularly featured in 'Out Inn Cheshire', our areas CAMRA magazine. The Cask Marque trust website will help you locate the nearest accredited real ale pub to you at www.cask-marque.co.uk/pubs/map.php. there is also an iPhone app (if you have such new fangled things) to do this for you too.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF23PH - Circus Tavern, Manchester, United Kingdom. The smallest pub in the city.
Manchesters second smallest boozer, with room for approximately twenty people including the feisty bar maid. The kind of venue where the music would stop when you walked in - that's if they had room for speakers - but within half an hour you'd be on first name terms with the regulars.
Not exactly a vast array of cocktails (This is more for the beer drinkers and G&T lovers) this is a bar that you hope will stay in Manchester for ever. In fact it's central location, on the busy Portland Street near Manchesters china town, makes it even more surprising that this hasn't been turned into apartments.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4314997492 - 'I am sure in Yorkshire this beverage is considered an aphrodisiac, when dealing with the fairer sex of a certain age.
It fascinated me and products of the 'Barnsley Beer Company' not being that familiar over here in the 'red rose' portion of the pennines, I thought I would give it a chance.
A very nice dark fruity, cake spiced, gingery on the burp porter style beer, well worth a try. It had flavours not unlike a Scottish clootie dumpling, if you have ever encountered one of those.
I was a frequent traveller to Barnsley when I lived over near Glossop, Derbyshire. Good to see local ale coming out of there once again.
I will comment tomorrow if any aphrodisiac qualities appear evident. Veritable snake oil :-)

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4276902767 - 'Enjoying a nice cold ginger beer tinight in an old Grappenhall beer festival 2005 glass. Grappenhall is a village in Cheshire, England, UK just south of Warrington. Hence the cheshire cat on teh glass.
The beer festival is usually held around the May bank holiday over Friday until Sunday afternoon if the beer holds out. Phoenix (Oak Brewing Co.) Wobbly Bob usually is the ale that runs out first for good reason. Its a nice strong traditional english ale.
What a great idea mixing the ginger wine stuff with beer. I must admit I am a real ginger nut and a sucker for anything with stem or root ginger in it.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4200346103 - 'A nice treat today, that seasonal slurp with Gary that sometimes everyone is too busy to arrange.
The evening started in Sinclairs Oyster Bar, Manchesters most moved historic pub (with the Wellington) within sight of the MEN big Wheel, for a pint of Sam Smiths (in a plastic glass??). Maybe the upper bar is opened by now.
The basement of Corbiers in Half Moon St was next followed by the Vine.
Next in the sleet followed the two chop houses (Mr Thomas's and Sams (from where this images comes).
Great Bridgewater St got us to the warm and snug Britons Protection. The evening rounded off in the Peveril of the Peak (named after a mailcoach that used to cross the Peak district over to Manchester from Luton.
