Answer 3

Crown and Treaty

The Crown and Treaty is a pub on Oxford Road in Uxbridge, London, England, where Charles I and his Parliamentary opponents during the English Civil War held negotiations (the Treaty of Uxbridge) between 30 January and 22 February 1645. It is a Grade II* listed, dating from 1576.

The Crown and Treaty was built in the early sixteenth century as Place House. It was two thirds larger than it is today, but was reduced in size when Oxford Road was widened to accompany the coaching traffic in the eighteenth century, and was converted into a coaching inn.

Mercury Prize-nominated band Sweet Billy Pilgrim named their 3rd album Crown and Treaty after the pub.

The wood panelling was sold in 1924 to decorate an office in the Empire State Building. However, as a gift to Elizabeth II during her coronation in 1953 the panelling was reinstalled in the inn.

The pub is currently a live music venue.

Answer 4

Drewe Arms, Drewsteignton

Drewe Arms, Drewsteignton

The Drewe Arms is a Grade II* listed public house on the north side of The Square in Drewsteignton, Devon.

Built in the 17th century, the building was modernised in the late 19th century. There may have been a public house at the site in the 16th century. The building is made of cob on a stone base, with stone chimneystacks including one of granite. The roof is a combination of reed thatching, corrugated iron and slate. Built in a T-shape plan, the main area holds three rooms, a kitchen, a main room and a bar. There is a staircase at the rear of the centre room. It appears that the original building was an open hall house. The additional blocks were built in the late 19th and early 20th century, and include cellars and toilet facilities.

The interior was largely modernised in the 19th century, but no further modernisation has occurred and some of the 17th century woodwork remains. The deed dates for the Drewe Arms to 1890, when the public house was known as the "New Inn". The name was changed to the Druid Arms, and then to the Drewe Arms in the 1920s.

The building was designated Grade II* listed status on 22 February 1967. It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. In 1919 the Drewe Arms was taken over by Mabel Mudge, who ran the public house for 75 years before retirement, giving her the record of the longest-serving landlady in the UK. The pub shut in February 2013, owing to the high costs of maintaining the place with a small profit margin, but reopened the same year with new owners.

Answer 6

Eastbrook, Dagenham

The Eastbrook is a Grade II* listed public house at Dagenham Road, Dagenham, London.

In listing it at Grade II*, Historic England note its "smart Neo-Georgian exterior with good detailing and materials; design quality: contrasting aesthetic in the Oak and Walnut Bars, which epitomises the pluralistic approach to design in the inter-war years, and nostalgia for 'Merrie England'; planning: an archetypal inter-war improved road house with a range of rooms for different functions and clientele; intactness: virtually unaltered, high-quality interior complete with walnut or oak panelling, glazed partitions, bars, seating, stained glass, and fireplaces; suburban landmark: the pub exemplifies inter-war arterial development."

It is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

Eastbrook is also a ward of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The population of the ward at the 2011 Census was 10,506.

Answer 8

The Garrick Inn, Stratford-upon-Avon

Coordinates: 52°11′31″N 1°42′25″W / 52.191823°N 1.70686°W / 52.191823; -1.70686

The Garrick Inn is a pub in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, located at 25 High Street, next door to Harvard House. It is reputedly the oldest pub in the town. The Garrick is located along Stratford's Historic Spine.

It has been an inn within the current Elizabethan, half-timbered building since 1718. An earlier medieval building on the same site was also used as an inn.

The precise date of the construction of the current building is not known. However, it is considered to be 1596 with parts dating back to the 14th century, making it one of the oldest buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon. It is Grade II* listed, a listing for properties which 'are particularly important buildings of more than special interest.' Restoration of the property took place in around 1912, when a brick front added in about 1800, was replaced. Restoration also took place in 2005.

It was previously called The Greyhound, as well as The Reindeer, before its name was changed to The Garrick Inn after the actor David Garrick in 1795.

It is thought that a bout of plague may have started within the original inn in 1564 after a weaver's apprentice, Oliver Gunn, died of the disease there. The phrase 'hic incepit pestis' which translates as 'here begins the plague' were written in Gunn's burial entry. However, it is unclear whether these words were added to the burial register in order to indicate the local plague outbreak starting at this location.

Answer 10

Golden Cross, Coventry

Golden Cross, Coventry

The Golden Cross is one of the oldest pubs in Coventry, West Midlands, and one of the longest alcohol-serving venues in England.

First mentioned as an inn in 1661, the Golden Cross is dated to 1583. The structure of the building is typical of the Tudor-style of this period with three vaulted or ‘jettied’ upper floors. It has close-studding on the upper floors and moulded jetty boards. The finest feature is the 'dragon beam' visible in the ground-floor ceiling. This is a large timber beam that enables a jettied first floor to pass round a corner of the building.

Today, the Golden Cross stands much modified. A restoration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries used timbers from the original wooden bell tower of St. Michael’s Church. An extension in 1968 substantially changed the interior of the pub, doubling the building's size by extending the gentleman’s bar, smoke room and upstairs club room.

In February 1955, the Golden Cross was listed by the now-disbanded Coventry City Guild (1914–1961) as a Grade II* listed building of special interest. There are only three buildings like it in the city centre.

After suppression of religious houses, inns such as the Golden Cross became important meeting places for city companies. Groups such as the Golden Cross Philanthropic Society, formed in 1859, held regular meetings in the club room upstairs. The society was composed of well-respected men of society and their aim was to help the poor by raising money for local hospitals, schools etc. The Coventry City Supporters club also held a meeting at the Golden Cross in 1951. The poet Philip Larkin was a frequent visitor. Since the 1970s, the club room has been associated with live music.

The pub stands in the medieval heart of the city close to several other ancient buildings that survived the bombing raids of the Second World War, namely the shell of the old Coventry Cathedral of St. Michael, St. Mary’s Guild Hall, Holy Trinity Church.
