‘ Some I loved, others I went to.’
As quoted by George Blewitt. We have gathered together the names of a number of pubs (though we would like more – names that is) situated close to ‘THE STONE FRIGATES’ dotted around the UK.
Some pubs have retained their original name, some have changed their names, sadly quite a few have closed down.
Some of the places visited may have been courtesy of THE GREY FUNNEL LINE
