lol I mean the hostelry 

I have family (or had) when I was a kid and we spent alot of time round Derbyshire on holiday.  When me fatha came up from Gloucester last year to stay with us I repaid him the favour of driving round all the places we used to go and we both loved it

I remember going around an old place called Melbourne but can't remember if that was in Derbyshire or Leicestershire

Well The Old Bridge Inn in Ripponden, which I can see from here claims to be one of the oldest inns in England dating from 1307, but I don't think that will be that one. I'm fancying one somewhere else - out comes the old book again.

They do worship pork pies at the Old Bridge Inn now though Smile

There's the Bingley Arms in Leeds, that's over a 1000 years old, but that's described as a pub not a hostelry like the Bridge Inn ?

There are a lot of places purporting to be the oldest Undecided

I'll tell our friend Tim who owns the Bridge next time we're in there that his premises have been subject of a quizzy on POE Smile

If you ever get the chance to visit John it's a great place, it's all a bit wonky, there's not a straight floor or wall in the place, which all adds to the fun when putting drinks on tables.

I'll have to have a think now.

It's quite a challenge Dave, even when you've not had a few,  I'm not to bad but David is quite tall and always manages to bash his head on something in there.
