These two pubs were photographed in Bristol.
The Pump House is obviously converted from it's original use on the dockside.

The Hole in the Wall refers to a spy hole in the dockside wall, used to keep an eye out for the Press Gang, eager to capture some sailors.

These two are in England's smallest city: Wells, in Somerset.
The City Arms is now a pub with rooms but in the 17th Century it was the City Jail.

This, the Bishops Eye is actually a Wine Bar, serving quality beverages, continental meats and cheeses, rather than a pub.
The name comes from the adjacent archway and tower located at the entrance to the Bishop's Palace.
No doubt he could keep an eye out for any "goings on" and send the miscreants down the street to the jail.

I had my wedding reception at the Red Lion at Avebury. Is it open, it served us proper food. Some great pubs in Wiltshire. I am partial to a pint or two of Wadworth’s Corvus.

Goomalling Tavern by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

A typical friendly country pub. Worth dropping in if you are that way inclined.

I'm not a pub frequenter but love the buildings. There's some beauties.
This looks so typical and well kept.
Great to see

Well if you are hungry ... biggest meals I have seen in a long-time. Enough for two to three people on each plate!

Commercial Hotel, Dowerin, Western Australia by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

The Commercial Hotel, which today is heritage listed, was built in 1908 by FW Gustav Liebe who also constructed His Majesty's Theatre, Hay St Perth, and The Peninsular Hotel, Maylands, both of which are on the State Register of Heritage Buildings. Changes made to the fabric can be identified and illustrate periods of prosperity in Dowerin.

A little of its colourful history:

‘The opening of the Commercial Hotel on New Year's Day 1909 was celebrated in lavish style. About 100 people attended and some 75 residents partook of the midday meal at the invitation of the licensee. (The Northam Advertiser 9 January 1909)

The solid construction of the building was put to the test just six weeks after the opening when a tornado hit Dowerin. The original agricultural hall was destroyed and many buildings in the town were severely damaged, but the hurricane winds and torrential rain had little effect on the hotel. A large, galvanised iron tank just obtained by Rose was lifted off its stand, blown hundreds of metres and left in a battered and useless condition. A second empty water tank at the hotel would have suffered the same fate had it not been held down by several men until the rain partially filled it and anchored it down. But the building itself remained untouched. (The Northam Advertiser 24 February 1909)

I must take and share a photo of our local, which is a classic Aussie 1800s pub.

We came upon this one halfway through a hilly ride in mid-Wales.
The village of Old Radnor is set upon a steep hill and we were happy to see that the pub was open.
Please note that we had nothing stronger than a nice pot of tea!
