The Mermaid was built in 1861 but has been redecorated a
few times since. This photo was taken from outside where I currently live
- sadly there is no regular bus service from my home to the pub so I have
to struggle against the elements to get there - it's a tough life. |

And at Christmas there is
Christmas Tree around which the locals sing carols - yes, really! |

The Mermaid again - this

Lacing is the term used
to describe the foam left in the glass after a pint has been drunk - it's
a sign of the quality of the beer and in my very limited experience (okay
- that's a small fib) there is never any question about the quality of
the beer in The Mermaid (and that should get me a free pint!) |
