Site of MERMAID Horse Trough - it was about  twice as long as the centre of the 'bare' area

trapio,

The latest fire at the Mermaid was the second one and to be quite honest I had never seen so slipshod a restoration anywhere as the one after the first one. I was at some loss as the Building Reg's people let it slip by and open, it was only open a very short while before the second fire.
Phil died in 2020. RIP.
