Royal Pavilion Tavern

Royal Pavilion Tavern

The Royal Pavilion Tavern, commonly known as the Pavilion Tavern or Pav Tav, is a pub in the centre of Brighton, part of the English coastal city of Brighton and Hove. Its original name of the Royal Pavilion Hotel indicates its original role; now it is one of the seaside resort's oldest surviving pubs. Converted from a house in the early 19th century, it was also used as a court for several years. Prominent local architect Amon Henry Wilds was responsible for its redesign as a hotel and inn. English Heritage has listed the building at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance, and it stands within a conservation area.

The fishing and agricultural village of Brighthelmstone, on the Sussex coast in southeast England, grew into the fashionable resort of Brighton from the mid-18th century. Inward investment, good transport links and the popularity of sea-bathing helped it develop "all of the facilities that would have been expected" of an 18th-century leisure destination. One of the most important was the Castle Inn, converted from a house in 1752 by businessman Samuel Shergold. He recognised that the town's wealthy visitors wanted a focal point near the Old Steine—at that time the centre of Brighton's fashionable life—to meet, socialise and stay. It became the nascent resort's most important social venue, especially after an assembly room and ballroom were added. Within 50 years, though, it had declined, and it was demolished in 1823. This allowed the junction of North Street and Old Steine to be widened, and it took the name Castle Square.

By 1780, North Street was "the principal commercial street in the town", and Castle Square itself became a hub of commercial activity. Despite the decline of the Castle Inn, the area retained its fashionable air, and by the early 19th century a mixed series of buildings had been built on the southern side; despite some later alterations, their layout and essential character remains. One such building was the tall terraced house at number 8. Dating from early in the 19th century, it soon took on a second role. The Court of Whalesbone, a Hundred Court (an early form of magistrates' court moved from the county town of Lewes in 1808 to the building. Sessions were held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. After short interludes at the Old Ship Hotel and Brighton's original Town Hall, the court sessions returned between 1823 and 1832.

Seven Stars, Falmouth

The Seven Stars is a Grade II listed public house at 1 The Moor, Town Centre, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 3QA. It was built in about 1800 and subsequently extended in 1912 to include an off-licence, which subsequently became a shop. The building was made of rendered stone, though the modern building is made of brick, both parts having a slate roof.

The Seven Stars was supposedly opened in 1660 and so is the oldest pub in Falmouth, though the present building is dated to approximately 1800. The interior is dated to the 19th century, leading it to be listed on Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.

A review in The Telegraph mentioned that the public house had a dated feel, due to the style of the interiors, but that it was a "total treasure". The building was designated Grade II listed building status on 6 June 2000.

This three-storey public house was originally built in approximately 1800. During the 19th century, the building was re-fronted, and a lean-to extension was added at the rear of the building. A further extension on the right of the building is dated 1912, originally functioned as an off-licence, but now serves as a shop. The original building is made of rendered stone, while the modern addition is rendered brickwork. The roof for both parts are made of slate. At the corners of the building are raised quoins on the upper floors.

The building has panelled doors off centre of the original building, and on the left hand side of the shop extension. At the top of the building, the eaves have a painted timber board displaying the name, The Seven Stars. Inside the bar has long rectangular panels, with simple shelves and there are seats built under the windows. The Seven Stars is unusual in that it still includes its panelling and features from the 19th century.

The Sloop Inn

The Sloop Inn

The Sloop Inn is an inn in St Ives, Cornwall, England, located on the wharf. It is one of the oldest inns in Cornwall, the public house is dated to "circa 1312" although the present building was built in the 17th or 18th century.

The present building dates from the 17th or 18th century, but the public house is dated to "circa 1312". The inn is one of the oldest surviving in Cornwall, possibly in the United Kingdom, and was popular with artists during the Victorian era, with one commentator stating that the artists and fisherman got on well together. One particular artist who enjoyed the atmosphere was Louis Grier, who had many paintings hung there.

Today, the public house is described in the Lonely Planet guide as "A classic old fishermen's boozer, complete with low ceilings, tankards behind the bar and a comprehensive selection of Cornish ales." It has accommodation for guests, as well as an outside upper deck bar.

Set on the Wharf at St. Ives, the building is set over two storeys, and built between the 17th or 18th centuries. The roof is made of slate with a flat headed dormer and a single chimney stack.

Answer 8

Stag Inn, Hastings

Stag Inn, Hastings

The Stag Inn is a public house in the Old Town area of Hastings, a port and seaside resort in East Sussex, England. One of many ancient buildings on All Saints Street, the 16th-century timber-framed inn was refronted in the 18th century, but many of its original features remain. The preserved bodies of two smoke-blackened mummified cats have been displayed on a wall since their discovery in the 19th century; witchcraft has been suggested as an explanation for this "grisly sight". The inn, which claims to be Hastings' oldest surviving pub, is operated as a tied house by the Shepherd Neame Brewery, and has been listed at Grade II by English Heritage for its architectural and historical importance.

Hastings developed as a fishing port from the 10th century or earlier: its first documented reference in 928 indicates that it was already important locally, and it was soon the leader of the Cinque Ports. Two streams ran into the English Channel between the East and West Hills, steep promontories which forced the town to develop inwards along the valley floor. Two parallel roads, High Street and All Saints Street, ran up the valley and formed the heart of the Old Town area. The oldest surviving buildings on All Saints Street, named after the ancient parish church at the north end, are 15th-century.

The Victoria County History of Sussex identifies only three ancient inns as existing in 1657, but Hastings was in fact infamous for the large number of drinking establishments in its small, crowded central area. Towards the north end of All Saints Street, a timber-framed building erected in the Elizabethan era became a public house known as the Stag Inn at an unknown date—reputedly 1547, which would make it the oldest surviving inn in the town (and slightly older than Elizabethan). Hastings was a centre for smuggling activity for many years, and the inn was apparently frequented by smugglers in its early years.

Answer 10

Sun Inn

The Sun Inn is a Grade II listed, parlour pub in Leintwardine, Herefordshire, England.

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

The 200+ year old establishment, one of the UK's last remaining parlour pubs, had been owned and operated by resident Flossie Lane, who was born in the Sun Inn in 1914, and took over ownership more than 70 years ago, until her death in June 2009 aged 94. Without anyone to take her place, there had been fears that it would be sold for redevelopment, but with the help of CAMRA, and the Save the Sun Inn campaign, the pub was purchased from Flossie's nieces, who were keen for it to remain a pub, by a neighbour and friend of Flossie's and a local brewery owner.
