AN ENORMOUS PUB CRAWL

In this post we'll take a look at the rest of Stamford's many pubs. But first, the old Melbourne's Brewery, now used by Samuel Smiths to make their fruit beers, mainly for export.

 Next door was the Albion, a Greene King pub when photographed in 1999, then five years later as a free house called the Otter's Pocket.

The Bull & Swan was once a Melbourne's house, today it's an upmarket hotel.

The Jolly Brewer, on Foundry Road, is renowned for its real ales.

The Golden Fleece, good Everard's Ales.

The Millstone is today owned by pubco Stonegate.

The Lord Burleigh, a town centre boozer.

Probably Stamford's most famous hostelry, the George Hotel.

Not every pub in Stamford has survived. The Scotgate, an old Phipp's house, is now closed.

The Saint Peter's Inn, handy for the bus station, is deceased.

Here's the White Hart, when it was run by Bateman's. It has now got new owners and is renamed the Punch Bowl.Its future does not look promising.

The Periwig, once called the Marsh Harrier - another casualty.

It's not all doom and gloom.What is now the Tobie Norris was converted into a superb pub in 2005.

The Green Man, a renowned real ale emporium, is still going strong. Good for Grainstore beers.

Sadly, the Daniel Lambert pub is now just a memory.

We conclude our tour at the King's Head.

From here I'll say goodnight and see you in the next post.
