The Whipping Stocks, Over Peover

Have often driven past this pub, an imposing building on the A50, and wondered why there are usually so few cars in the car park.
I went in the other night, and now I know why.
Several dull rooms with a few customers, all of whom turned their heads to look at the new arrival. The licensee [I assume] then continued his tirade against the local council whilst the barman managed to complete my transaction without uttering a single word.
I went into one of the rooms where my only company in the Stygian gloom was a collection of about 15 empty, dirty glasses piled on a table.
A singularly depressing experience which even Smiths at 1.70 does not redeem.
