Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese

An incredible pub that dates back to the 1600s. This pub was a place to shelter in the Blitz. I will take you down the furthest cellar. Much of this pub has not changed in 100s of years. I will tell you about the history of the pub and the famous people who used to drink there. I will show tell you about Polly the most famous parrot in the world, who stills sits proudly above the front bar. (Although she is stuffed)
