Pubs

I've mentioned the closing of pubs in other posts. Here's a quick & dirty map of pubs in my neck of the woods. It shows the closures as well as those still trading. I'll update and expand as time allows.

Friday night

We went to East Z east for food - the one we visited isn't on their website yet but the food is glorious. I had Saag Murgh Tikka Handi and it was lovely even though I made the mistake of eating what I thought was a small tomato but turned out to be a chilli. From there we went across the road and down a bit to the Lass o'Gowrie for a beer and then we went to a couple of other pubs for a beer. Finished up in the Grey Horse which is an unapologetically old-time Mancunian boozer.

The Blue Bell

Established 1660 - sorry for the slope, I was queuing to turn onto the duel-carriageway so it was a very quick shot.

Google street view

Many folk are very exercised about Google Street View so I decided to give it a go. I found some truly beautiful pictures on it and it's fantastic for showing how close together some sites of special interest are located.

(Click images for better view)
Look at this for example. First I navigated to The Pev on Great Bridgewater Street and then went towards the Bridgewater Hall to The Briton's Protection!

I'm sure that many - spurred on by the BBC - are looking for images of people throwing up or engaged in something naughty but as far as I can see capturing images of beautiful pubs is wonderful.

More power to Google!
