a Brand New Adventure Play area (Installed Spring 2004)

Answer 6

The Airport Hotel.  Rather than a dump from wikid pedia....a truth.

In the 70's it was a real pub, serving beautifully kept Robinson's Ale.

It still serves Robbies, but it's not as good.

The rear garden is now a play area, it used to be a lawned seating area, in fact it could have been a bowling green before I frequented the place in the 70's.

It is populated with Aircraft enthusiasts, and it opens early (7am ish!) for them, serving breakfasts (But no beer until licence hours).

From the side of the pub, the aircraft about to take off would be within 50 yards as they turned off taxiway to join runway, but most departurs now use Runway 2, leaving Runway 1 for arrivals, so the only close-up pictures you will get are of an aircraft on absolute finals.

If you drank there in the 70's, (73 to 76) Email me.

From a beautiful old pub to what now appears to be a crumby place, but at least it's a pub which is busy and satisfying a need, in a world where pubs are shutting and being replaced by "Youth venues".
