Residence only, but nice pic of the table on the site......

Thanks,

Done, though not happy with the Otter House location which I do not believe is correct, I've gone by the Post Code. Have been unable to tie down the correct location however. Mulberry Cottages is the renting company and not a part of the address. I suspect it's a part of the Buckland Court estate just West of Merryfield which fits in with being half a mile from Gara Mill.

I wonder the value of adding holiday cottages, they are not publicly accessible and a bugger to find on the map.

[Chris_Sav]

I've moved Otter House up to the Buckland Court estate which I am pretty certain is correct, removed the post code for the reverse reason!

I guess it must be a new refurbishment as it does not appear on the detailed roadwork maps I use to find houses.

Please add:

A new one for Hampshire, in the north of the county:
WYKE DOWN COUNTRY PUB, WALWORTH ROAD, ANDOVER SP11 6LX

Hi Tommo
The missing sock is just 800 yards from the White Swan at Stow-cum-Quy, i would instantly install a 'bitter rivalry' which is best served cold of course if I can get the keys! Just had a word with him and he's very interested in a table....

Six Mile Bottom Ssc, Brinckley Road, Six Mile Bottom, Newmarket CB8 0UN = open only two days per week (Sat and Sun)
Three Horseshoes Pub (Formerly The Longbow), 2 Church Street, Stapleford, Cambridge, CB22 5DS = table removed a year ago
King William IV, 8 Church Street, Histon, Cambs CB24 9EP = this is a 4-pin pub. Installed as a 3-pin but remarked as a 4 with the landlady keeping 4 on the table.

Missing Sock (formerly the Prince Albert), Finders Corner, Newmarket Road, Stow-Cum-Quy, Cambs CB25 9AQ = no table for 3 years
