Merry Christmas friends & colleagues, & all the brewers & publicans working hard for our treasured pubs. Greetings to Never Trumpers friends across the Pond. Thanks to Simon Walkden @thornbridge.bsky.social for his image of the Cricket Inn, Totley, Sheffield, with log fires blazing inside.

Exactly right. The lottery heritage fund, @historicengland.bsky.social and all involved with the Iron Duke treated publicans appallingly and chose a duo who own burger bars to run this historic public house. Costing 2.5 million of public money.

This is all marvellous but a shame that Historic England listing doesn't necessarily save the heritage & function of a pub, even when vast public resources have been used to save the building, as in the Art Deco masterpiece the Iron Duke. @sovenna.bsky.social

Reports that Unilever is seeking a buyer for #Marmite. Burton on Trent is the home of Marmite, made from spent yeast from the still surrounding breweries. Fears that production could move out of the town. Is nothing sacred, or are we to see Carlsberg Marmite Britvic?

Good to see the wonderfully preserved King's Head still serving top cask ale - inc. Beechwood Bitter & Chiltern Pale Ale - & food under the management of Chiltern Brewery.

The King's Head at Aylesbury is a stunning survival from the mid-15th century. The date can probably be refined to 1445-55 as the building contains stained glass with the badges of Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou, married in 1445 & embroiled in the Wars of the Roses from 1455🧵

This is a simple church but absolutely beautiful. Caistor St Edmund. Steeped in history. Well worth a visit.

The majestic Wells Cathedral in all its splendor. The Scissor Arches you see were built in 1348
The cathedral’s central tower had been completed by 1313, but its weight caused foundation shifts.
To prevent collapse, they designed the arches as a bracing system to redistribute the tower’s weight.

All over the UK we have historic sites. We visited Creake Abbey near Burnham Market. It’s an Augustinian ruined abbey. Stunning. #abbey #historic #monks #norfolk #burnhammarket

Did you see the Council quote in a press article, 94% wanted a pub with food, only 4% wanted a wet led pub? What a cynical manipulation of Qs & outcomes. Everyone wanted a pub of that size to do food, just not Zaks.

Restoration underway of Iron Duke, Gt Yarmouth, saved/listed thanks @sovenna.bsky.social SaveDuke. Sad the art deco icon will be run by Zaks serving "American themed BBQ ribs burgers hot dogs." Decision by a narrow cabal at the Council, no publicans allowed to pitch, & travesty "public consultation"
