Oldest Inn (1958)

Thank Goodness it was not turned into a vape store or cell phone repair shoppe. 1300s??? That way old! I cannot wait to travel there and finally use my clay churchwarden pipe from Gouda. (British Pathe had an episode on a husband and wife still making clay pipe; fascinating skill but not sure if there are any pipemakers left in Britain.)

At age nine, I arrived in England from America three years after this was filmed. My father collected treen and many of the types of antiques in the film and I have them to this day so it is lovely to see them in use. It is wonderful to see an Inglenook fireplace in action for both cooking and seating.

[@WondrousEarth]

These films from that time period is so charming, just enchanting, I enjoy every one which I have seen here on YT, from British Pathe ☺

[@markussithlord227]

traditional mulled wine at German fairs during Christmas... can you see me?

[@SewardWriter]

Yeah, it really affects the wine. Honestly, pour a few bottles into a slow cooker and set it to low for an hour or two. Don't forget the sugar and spices.

[@Mapleleaf587]

In the 60’s many smaller ski chalets in Canada had mulled wine or mulled ale along with Welsh Rarebit or Croque Madame or Croque Monsieur.

[@squirekev]

Old guy by the fire, with pipe and ale looks so happy. Looks like a perfect respite.

[@Mark-lj1dj]

A beer and a smoke next to the fire must be lovely at that age

[@azmrblack]

God how I wish I could have been there to taste the jugged hare, the ambiance of the old inn, have a smoke by the fire, and a mulled ale. The mulled wine sounds delightful! Anyone of that era truly got to experience a good time when people were paid decent and enjoyed things. Nowadays it's just fast food and go go go.

[@olafpayne]

The funny thing is that mulled wine is now common in pubs in the winter, but mulled ale is not.

[@pawel8365]

Just looks like stewed hare that can be done in any pressure cooker, not exactly rocket science.

[@keef78]

@@olafpayne ive had mulled wine once, was ok but mulled ale?! strange, makes sense in england though.

[@francisdec1615]

Mulled wine is very common here in Sweden at Christmas, called "glögg", but I actually prefer whisky or cognac.

[@AmonAnon-vw3hr]

@pawel8365 nope lol. That's like saying an a steak cooked in butter on a seasoned cast iron pan would taste the same as one cooked in seed oils on a stainless one.

[@Ryan-vg4wn]

@@AmonAnon-vw3hr what culture? You've still not said what you have missed.

[@ronliebermann]

I watched an old video about the pubs in rural England, and they showed an activity where the men would be given a big cup of ale or tea, and then they would pull a hot iron out of the fireplace to heat it up. It may have ben called "mulling" I'm not sure. Anyway, when people go camping it's not easy to make hot water. You have to boil a kettle. So maybe they could sell an iron which you put in the campfire, and after it's hot, you can heat just one cup of water for soup or coffee.

[@Trund27]

That would be a great tool! A blacksmith could make these, no problem.

[@sauravbasu8805]

[@cosak23]

so in 2022 that pressure cooker is 244 years old- wow .

[@williamj-t2n]

This Inn dates back to the last Plantagenet King, Richard 11. His personal coat of arms displays a white hart. He was murdered by a Lancastrian usurper, who became Henry 1V, from whom those terrible Tudors descended.

[@Trund27]

That’s amazing!! And tragic for sure. Thank you for the info!

[@750triton]

Richard II and Henry IV. Sorry to be pedantic but as you wrote it, it looks like he had had 10 predecessors called Richard. Same when I see WW11, it is WII. Roman numerals were letters

[@oldmanconnery]

Richard III was the last Plantagenet king, 3rd not 2nd

Or the year the church of England gave its backing to family planning (bet there were nutters back then weeping for the return of the victorian times as well...😂) Stupid idiot wants to return to post war Britain when immigration was encouraged by the UK (and rightly so!)

Years ago, when I was at college in Eastbourne, our local pub, The Lamb, which is even older than this one, had an equally big old inglenook fireplace, and a couple of times we did ourselves mulled ale. It was bloody awful.

[@MortenGrauJensen]

In Denmark the mulled wine is still served around Christmas all over the country, the Danish version is called ‘Glögg’, not far from the German ‘Glühwein’ you find on their christmas markets.

I remember seeing a thing on Worst Jobs in History where the position of the person was inside the humngous fireplace,off to the side of the main action, turning the spit;;a lot of times, the spit boy wasn't a boy at all..'boy' was a demeaning term. His job was made even more hazardous by the fact that it was exceedingly boring job that went on for hours on end(some of those meat joints being rotisseried weighed over 23 pounds), and he might fall asleep and fall into the fire as a result.

How very different things are now

[@tubecated_development]

It’s easy to correct. Just ‘unwoke’ the British pub. It’s a 10 step process. 1. No women. 2. No children 3. No food except nuts on bar. 4. No jukebox 5. No TV 6. No mobile phones 7. Smoking reinstated (tobacco only) 8. No vapes 9. No drink-driving laws 10. Put the signs back outside that say “No dogs, certain ethnicity, or certain ethnicity” (I can’t even type it because this woke channel or woke tube will delete my comment) Number 11 is much more difficult. How to get men back in pubs now they are acting like women and spending their money like women, ie drinking American soft drinks, vaping, aimlessly driving around in cars, parking up in retail parks, hanging out at McDonalds, Subway, KFC, 24 hr service stations, eating Dunkin Donuts, watching KZbin, going on Instagram, TikTok, dating apps, playing video games, eating Burger King, getting their hair done, getting the 41st expensive tattoo, eating ‘curries’ and drinking ‘lager’, buying £2 cans of ‘American Craft Ale’ pish from the supermarket, sitting on the sofa watching Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, etc etc etc…ALL of their money goes here not in the pubs it’s no wonder pubs are dying. So it’s an 11 step process really. The first ten are easy.
