A look around the Village. No. 5

Just to the left of the village green in my last No. 4 picture is another of the 9 pubs in the village. This is the King's Head in King's Stanley and believe it or not is one of the oldest in the village.

It is first recorded in 1766 and is still in full use today, the heart of the village activities. The war memorial used to stand directly in front of the pub but has moved to make the roads more usable.

I'm a bit late uploading today, so if I don't get to view your captures I will catch up - busy football day on the internet.

@stormi40 @snowy Thank you both ladies, Marilyn, just turn left in front of the pub and I'm just about 400yds up the hill.

[Rachel Holbrook]

That is a very ornate top on the war memorial, is there a story behind it not being the usual cross?

[virtualbrownie]

Sounds like my kind of village -all the pubs round here have long closed.It's another great shot of your home patch

[Mickey Anderson]

very nice view and stor, love those curvy roads!

[Ian McGuire]

you would have to be "up" the hill after coming out of the pub!…love the way the road winds all around it….

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@rvm @virtualbrownie @brillomick Thank you all for commenting. Rachel, I believed they used to put a light in there to honour the village war dead. Mickey, wavy roads, perhaps your right.

[Sue Hecker]

What a beautiful building.

[Kathie]

9 pubs, that's my kind of town. Let me guess that's a round about. Another lovely shot, Heather.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@featherstone @kathiecb Thank you both for coming to my village, no Kathie that's not a roundabout just a turning up to where I live.

@ourrube Thank you Ruby, something a bit different to walk around the village.

[Kathie]

@ladymagpie Of course you can change your mind. You just had a senior moment.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@kathiecb One of many Kathie.

[Kathie]

@ladymagpie BTW I read your blog about the spider. Very funny. I looked for more adventures but couldn't find any. Are there more

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@kathiecb There are many blogs, as we have been talking about senior moments here is an appropriate one: http://theramblingsofamadpensioner.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/brain-of-pensioner-or-is-it-start-of.html

Afterwards click on the The Ramblings of a mad pensioner and it will take you to the last blog I wrote, slide to the very bottom and click on older posts, these are the better ones, you can come back to the newer ones, hope you enjoy them.

[Kathie]

@ladymagpie Thanks. Will do. Hope you're having a great day.
