I walked around the pub listening to the stories she had to tell me. As I listened, I heard the whispers of history and the hope of a new beginning.

Who knew there was a grand dining room in there! Next time you visit and you’re enjoying your country breakfast, look up. “Whats that enormous curtain rod doing in the middle of the dining room?” you’ll ask yourself. Sharon is the keeper of pub secrets from history past.
