The Bar Fly senses a warm feeling of Community and Good Times - # 08/123

The R. u. T. Bar Fly is constantly in search of signs of ancient community life in the area.

This inn existed in 1645, and next door there was a blacksmith. The village consisted of a small handful of cottages, but now it's just part of a huge urban sprawl.

The inn is still there.......as you can see.........and the blacksmith's forge is now a motorcar dealership and repair business. So - not much has changed, and I'm sure people enjoyed themselves much as we see here.

  1. Bump-your-head beams - although you never feel anything after a few beers, especially if it is Fuller's ESB. Is London Pride still an ale to fancy? I remember in the 1970's we used to drink Light and Pride, but I fancy it was cask rather than real ale in those days

  2. @Richard..........quite so. London Pride and Fuller's ESB are indeed excellent "real" fuels much favoured by flies.

  6. They seem so involved in their conversation that they probably didn't notice you. I think the b&w make it more intimate and immediate somehow.
