NI CHANGES: UP-DATE/CORRECTIONS

In my last bulletin I did not do my job as well as I might, so please 
note (thanks to Mick Slaughter):

LONGACRE TAVERN, LONDON ROAD, BATH, BT1 5NL. Added to Part One. A 
remarkable survivor of c.1960 with typical detail of the time. Not 
lovely but certainly interesting. Be warned, though – beautiful Bath has 
some salubrious parts. This area is not one of them.

KING’S HEAD, BOOTLE, CUMBRIA. Added to Part Two for its. The interest is the survival of the 'bar' in its original form as a private room from which drink was served and in which valuables were kept. 

PHEASANT, BASSENTHWAITE. The address is strictly speaking Bassenthwaite Lake and the postcode is CA13 9YE. 

FIDDICHSIDE INN, CRAIGELLACHIE, MORAY. This wonderful gem is open all day Sunday and well as all day Saturday.

FREW’S BAR, DUNDEE. The best Art Deco room is actually called the ‘Sporting Memories Lounge’ and is open Fri nights and on Sats. 

PRINCESS LOUISE, HOLBORN, LONDON. Amazing news here. Sam Smiths, after 
lengthy discussions with English Heritage, are going ahead with plans to 
put back the Victorian screenwork that was removed decades ago. It’s a 
truly heroic thing to do and follows on from other extraordinary 
historicizing schemes by this secretive Yorkshire brewer (such as the 
glittering interior at the Crown & Sugar Loaf just off the bottom of 
Fleet Street on the right-hand side). The pub has recently closed to 
allow the work to take place and reopening is scheduled for November.

VINE, WEDNESFIELD, W. MIDS. The reopening anticipated in the January 
bulletin has taken place and Angela and John Tune report the pub seems 
in good hands and a first-class place for a drink. Visits recommended.

BARLEY MOW, LONDON W1. Several people have given the highly disagreeable 
news that this pub is currently shut. This is the one with a unique pair 
of tiny drinking boxes attached to the counter.

RED LION, HANDSWORTH, BIRMINGHAM. I have had a report that this 
wonderful pub may be closed. Does anyone have any firm information?
