I'd walked around there and visited that pub often, but never wondered why this bit was different..
I'm _kind_ of a SF writer. However I'm constitutionally incapable of dystopia, hence sapphic (SF-ish) romance WIP.
Also I am from the Cotswolds. They just have mobs of baying interior designers hunting the locals in X5s these days.

Then they can thieve them off the internets with a clear conscience and no effort.
The entirely unsurprising thing about all of this is that no-one seems to want, er, any of it.
One might naively think there'd be a museum or perhaps one of the surviving print mags about old rock music. But no.
And for a variety of reasons I want none of it in the house.
