"The Turk’s Head. The more you study it, the more interesting it is. The listing says it is ‘C18, altered in mid-C19’ – though its origins could be even earlier. Its curve-headed windows (now boarded up), and the moulded cornice that does a little hop over the door, are early 19th century. The moulded pair of doves on the upper story is mirrored in the cast-iron grill below. The whole place has (or at least had) a festive and welcoming air."
I didn't manage to get inside the pub, although the doors were brand new and open. Because I noticed there was a presence and that was squatters - this was because there was a light on the top of the staircase, temperature was a bit warmer than outside and two pairs of boots on a 'Welcome' mat.
I also took some photos of the back of the antique shop.
Open window, I wonder why?
Squatters! This light was off earlier!

This is the back of the antique shop... taken slightly earlier
Thanks for looking!
