I did some work there on their steam engine. One of the benefits was the weekly visit to the museum's tasting room.

 

Slightly off topic but here's the other engine from that site now located in Norfolk and in steam at least once a month during the summer.

 

 

 

If anyone is in the area, the Forncett Industrial Steam Museum is well worth a visit.

I only live 25 miles from there and didn't know about it, thanks for the info

It's an excellent pub, we had 2 nights in a row there when we got stuck behind the submerged car. Lovely pub to get wedged in, great beer (and pork pies?), and even a good choice of background music -- playlist from the 60s and 70s, played quietly enough as to not interfere with conversation but just loud enough that you could go "Oh, I remember that one..." 🙂 

 

The Vale in Bollington is still good but IIRC it's not £3 a pint any more... 😞 

This place was this year

Red Lion?

Not been in there for a long time. Although they now have another in the Town which I did visit last year.

That's a very good guess, but then there was a bloke that looks just like you sat in there last night 😀

 

So, we did a little Whaley Bridge pub crawl yesterday evening with very mixed results.

The micropub is shut on Mondays and the Railway was so bad we didn't even go in. Shepherds was ok with an original interior.

The White Hart was not good and the beer almost undrinkable, though the pub is up for sale.

The Goyt Inn is a very good pub indeed with a strong canal theme. I think it had just changed hands but everything appeared to be to the satisfaction of the locals, and quite busy for a Monday.  Its not quite canalside but its so close it almost is.

 Thats a very good summative report 😃

The only thing I’d add is how friendly the locals were in the pubs. They were very welcoming.

Good to hear that The Goyt is still the same cracking pub, haven't been in for over a year. Sad to hear that The White Hart isn't; I used to like it in there too.

@beerbeerbeerbeerbeer 's comments about the locals is spot on. Always found them friendly in Whaley, Buxworth, Furness, New Mills etc.

Somethings just help you when you're struggling at the trough. 😁

Is that the Queend Head? I read last night that it was about to be turned into housing but a bunch of locals purchased it to save it.

I can’t find much about it,

think the locals petitioned against the planning application 4 or 5 years ago,

well done to them 👍

Hoping to get me 6X experience later next month 😃

 

What was that beer we enjoyed in the Navigation?

was it Ochre??

 

Yes, just googled it Ochre from Stancil Brewery, 4.4%,

It went down a treat and was very moorish

Can't remember, Just popped back to Bugsworth for one night to fill with water before heading to Manchester, so maybe I will go to the Navigation and check 😀.

 

6x is a southern beer and not often seen in the midlands so where you gonna get some?   Let me guess 😀 ?

No boards but lots of keys,

No boards, lots of beer. 

 

Dragon inn Worcester. Have been coming down to Worcester from Droitwich regularly for the last 4 years and didn't realise that this place was in walking distance of the canal. 

 

That's this afternoon sorted 😂

 

 

[Victor Vectis]

Church End beers are good.

Their other pub is a nice walk in from the canal at Stoke Golding.

 

And there is their tap room at Ridge Lane.

It's quite an uphill yomp from the canal (but downhill on the way home!)

It doesn't look like a pub so don't do what I did and go the pub at the other end of the village before realising my mistake and walking back.
