It's also very characterful and unspoiled, but struck me in a way as just plain odd. Considering how near it is to Stafford and the Potteries conurbation, that area is remarkably unspoilt and remote-feeling.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095555834396442324.post-42219353046651852852012-01-28T11:47:08.569+00:002012-01-28T11:47:08.569+00:00If this pub was in Northumberland or West Wales it...If this pub was in Northumberland or West Wales it would attract much more attention nationally.

I've uploaded some photos I took onto Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24045592@N02/) They don't quite show the interior as well as I would've liked. We chatted with the landlady who moved there, from Birmingham, about 40 years ago with her late husband to run the pub. The clock dates from about the time the pub was built and is an original feature! (How many places can say that?) And...they do food...a sandwich made freshly with whatever happens to be in the fridge!PetesQuizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620433090438752385noreply@blogger.com
