The village of Cong is well-known as Inisfree the village setting for the 1952 film The Quiet Man starring John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara. The connections with the film have led to the area becoming a tourist attraction. Pat Cohan’s Bar as seen in the film has been tarted up and sells itself today as a Gastro Pub! HBM to everybody & the top of the morning to you!

The Victorian cattle market was located at Freeman's Common until 1990 & this Grade II listed building, now the Counting House pub, was the market refreshment rooms. The redevelopment of the area into a retail park & cinema complex took place in the mid-90s and involved a new road lay-out with multiple traffic lights and one-way systems. The clock tower is a fine feature & would have been important to know the time when it was a market but sadly today the clock is not functioning. HBM to everyone. Enjoy the day.

The market place at Thorne, my home town, hasn't changed that much since I was a kid in the 1950s but the only building still fulfilling its original purpose is the White Hart pub dating from 1737. It no longer sells Thorne-brewed Darley's Ales though. HFF & have a great weekend.

Dating from 1189, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem claims to be the oldest pub in England. It sits at the bottom of the Bunter Sandstone (in old money) cliff with Nottingham Castle on top. HFF & have a great weekend.

A trip to The George at Alstonefield for lunch.
