These images really highlight just how much culture and beauty dissappears with the removal of our glorious #Pubs 💔

The Vine Tavern #RIP ⚰

31 Mile End Road, #London
The once impressive pub stood in #MileEnd from 1625-1900's.
Looking at the site now, one would never know such a wonderful building once stood there. #E1 #E3 #E14

Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem sits at the bottom of Castle Rock in Nottingham. Rumoured to have been founded in 1189AD, it stakes its claim to being the oldest public house in England. The pub has several of the cities caves attached to it, some of which were used as the castle brewhouse in times gone by. There is evidence to suggest that the caves were carved out in 1067AD, the same time Nottingham Castle was built. The oldest parts of the current building date from the mid 1600s.

The name comes from the legend that King Richard and his Crusaders stopped off at the pub on the way to Jerusalem. Its actual meaning has become somewhat lost in modern English. "Ye Olde" is pronounced as "The Old", whilst "trip" refers to a stopping point or respite on a journey, rather than the actual journey. The modern translation of the name would be along the lines of "The Old Stop [resting point] on the way to Jerusalem."
