Country Pubs – A Current Affair Story

ED: This Current Affair story is a bit of self-indulgence. I am a great fan of country pubs along with my good caravaning mate Geoff Hall (Ex 35 Sqn). Each year we set off on a historic pub tour or as our wives call it, our annual pub crawl. Over quite a number of years we have visited many country pubs with the criteria that they were built before 1900. We all agree that these pubs are the life blood of the towns, 95% of the publicans have amazing personalities and are prepared to share the pubs history and provide information about things we must see around the town.
