P.S.Lincoln Castle, Grimsby

Unfortunately this historic vessel has been cut up for scrap in spite of the best efforts of the Paddle Steamer Society to save it. It used to ply the River Humber between New Holland and Hull, connecting with the train at the former until the opening of the Humber Bridge. The other two sisters still exist. The Tattershall Castle is a floating pub/restaurant by the Thames Embankment and the Wingfield Castle is berthed in Hartlepool as a floating exhibit, sadly with no beer.

Crown Inn, Beeston

Having picked up a flyer at Nottingham Beer Festival, I felt it worth a visit. Recently refurbished and what a good job they�ve made of an old coaching inn. Multiroomed with a delightful corner snug and two house beers from Leatherbritches, the d�cor, ambience and on my midweek afternoon visit, the company was superb. In addition to the house beers there are eight others from which to choose. I intended to call for a pint but stayed for two more; it�s that good and the quality is excellent. A great complement to the nearby legendary Victoria by the rail station.
