Where is This ? 67

Phil

Gone, but not forgotten.
It occurred to me that I hadn't given the imbibers among us a chance to show their knowledge of drinking establishments.

To that end if you can stay sober long enough, where is this public house located. (I think it is still in operation today).

It is of course "The Hen & Chickens" William Henry St off Rocky Lane. Well done Astonian.

Who says alcohol pickles the brain, it took only 12 minutes to solve that location. What does a Little mix up over the name of the road matter.

All you need to remember after a night out at the local, is where you live.

Phil.
