In October Cirencester will be holding a History Festival. One facet of that will be special guided town walks. One such walk will be the pubs of Cirencester. I accompanied the guide on such a walk and photographed 56 buildings. Sadly only 14 still serve beer.
My chosen image shows what would have been 3 separate hostelries...
"Now part of the Fleece Hotel, the Sun Inn - a coaching Inn claimed to be where King Charles 2 sheltered overnight after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651. Next door to The Fleece was the Old Bull Inn which closed in 1800, now the Town Council offices."
