I thought this...[edit]

I think this may be a listed building but may have mixed it up with another as they are similar but the number of front doors changes. Victuallers (talk) 10:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC) Yes it is listed, the building to the right in "Hare and Hounds House" which must have been the pub referred to in the listing.

Nice article about a quirky subject. Ideal fodder for DYK. Its neutral and based on good sources. Its new and long enough and the hooks are hooky. Alt1 works well with a picture and the main is best without. Both pics however are free to use.... and I have added some more Victuallers (talk) 12:31, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
