What are you looking for when you need to choose pubs?
A wide barrel variety and cool apples? Decent food? Suitable decoration? Or are you more interested in history?
If your criterion is the last, customers of London pubs will certainly come to a standstill.
Outside of the pub in the East End in London, the sign writes with pride: “The oldest pub on the river in London.”
On the opposite shore of Thames, another pub makes the same fat offer.
After Battle for the title of the oldest restaurant in the world in Spain The time has come for the battle for the earliest London pump, when the Maiflair and the perspective of Whitby claim the title.
Applicant number 1: MayFlower
The pub was named in honor of the Ship “Pilgrim Mayflauer”, which in 1620 went from this place to start a trip to America, and it is said that some of the authentic forests of the ship were included in the structure of the building.
Today, the pubs of the pub, which can prove their direct origin from one of the Mayflower passengers, can sign the Despit book.
Step number 2: The perspective of Whitby
The avenue claims to be founded in 1520, when the owners claim that the initial sign was saved by a great fire in London in 1666. The pub was outside the borders of the city at that time and was not affected by a fire that destroyed the old London.
Justin Billington, Deputy Director of Prospect, said that some met with the full reconstruction of the pub in 1774 after the fire of 1666. But he does not see this, noting that he is constantly working. The day after the fire, the workers pulled out a beer barrel, saved by a flame, and the locals appeared with their jugs and glasses and enjoyed the drink on the spot.
A pub can boast of a tin bar – the largest in Britain – from where, as they say, the notorious “Judge Jeffris” watched the executions in the nearest dock.
The pub was once known as the “devil’s tavern” from his connection with thieves and smuggling. The loop outside the pub resembles its gloomy history.
Billington explained Billington, there were several restorations in the history of the pub, but no one withstood erosion from the water of the Thames. All this until 1774, when the retired captain of the trade ship called the “perspective” rebuilt it, using materials from the ship.
If the pub were actually founded in 1774, this would be done by Mayflower – founded in the 16th century – earlier.
But, despite the debate of the conflict, Billington described the competition between his own pub and Mayflooer as an “erotic rivalry”.
“We compete with each other to be senior and give better food and drinks,” he said.
So, which pub is the oldest and how one of two two to finally justify the name?
First of all, there is no official certificate for the old pubis of London.
Guinness World Records He said that he did not officially awarded the title of complexity created by numerous names, movements and reconstructions.
“There are many very old pubs that could claim the name of the elder, but this could be simplified, because it can be argued that he was not always in London,” said the English historian and writer Jacob Fild. “Many pubs over time have changed their name, which makes it difficult to be the oldest.”
The study continues.
