CHANGES TO THE NI.
At yesterday's review by Pubs Heritage Group a number of changes were made:

ADDITIONS
BLACK HORSE, SPON END, COVENTRY. Addition to Part One. Two-room 
community pub with lobby area behind, little altered since the inter-war 
period.
PHEASANT, BASSENTHWAITE  (well, just outside to the south-west). Hotel 
bar added to Part Two: seemingly scarcely altered in 100 years.
Now lots of Scottish additions to Part One: for more details see the new 
Scottish Inventory
FIDDICHSIDE INN, CRAIGELLACHIE, MORAY AB38 9RR. A tiny, single room 
(10ft x 15ft) village pub overlooking the eponymous River Fiddich and 
easily the most remote establishment on the NI. A counter runs down the 
length of the room. This will test the endurance and enthusiasm of even 
the keenest NI spotters. But it's worth it. How long it will continue is 
another matter: it’s run by a couple in their 70s and 80s and the wife 
(she's the 80s part of it) is not in the best of health. Open lunchtimes 
and evening and all day Sat.
RAILWAY, 43 MAIN STREET, WEST CALDER, WEST LOTHIAN EH55 8DL. U-shaped 
bar in an industrial community local.
LAURIESTON BAR, BRIDGE STREET, GLASGOW G1. A two-room (plus off-sales) 
pub of 1960 with fittings redolent of the time. Not beautiful but very rare.
RAILWAY TAVERN, 1410-1416 SHETTLESTON ROAD, CORNER KILLIN STREET, 
SHETTLESTON G32 9AL. Industrial community local. Large bar with island 
servery and sitting rooms off plus an offsales. FREW'S BAR, 117 
STRATHMARTINE ROAD, CORNER MONCUR CRESCENT, DUNDEE DD3 7SD. Three-room 
corner pub. Unprepossessing exterior but some good Art Deco work, 
especially in the Sportsman's Bar which has limited opening.

DELETIONS
STATION BUFFET, BANGOR, N. WALES. Following a suggestion from Chris Witt 
that this is not really a 'pub-type room' as intended for Part Two and 
that it is really more a refreshment room (sweets more in evidence than 
alcohol!), PHG decided to remove the pub for the list.
TOWN ARMS, SELKIRK, BORDERS. Removed from Part One. Never a very strong 
entry, the shortening of the counter on both sides and been followed by 
the loss of the gantry and insertion of new shelving.

TRANSFER TO PART TWO
Royal Hill, Edgerley, Shropshire. One important room only here so Part 
Two is a more logical place for it



OTHER NEWS
ALEXANDRA, STOCKPORT. Quite substantial changes reported around the 
serving area which now is said to look all new. This must put its NI 
credentials in jeopardy.
MOUNTAIN DAISY, SUNDERLAND. Rodney Wolfe Cow reports that it is 
currently closed with a sign outside  inviting the usual 'business 
opportunity'.
THREE TUNS, HAY-ON-WYE, MID-WALES. Good news received from Mark Haslam 
that the new owners Ian Burgess and his partner Emma, are proceding with 
a restoration which, although, expanding the pub (very necessary), will 
leave the historic core alone. In the meantime, the Burgesses have set 
up a website for those interested to monitor the pub’s progress, and 
this is at: www.three-tuns.com It is proposed to open in June.
