St Peter's Street

Looking up St Peter's Street towards the church. This is a very pretty
street with some lovely houses and also the Bunch of Grapes pub that I must
go in at some point.

The last house on the right before the church gates used to be a girls
school and was supposedly closed down after a French Napoleonic prisoner of
war threw over a love letter to one of the girls!! A large scandal in the 1800s!

  1. Does the pub just do wine? Maybe "A Bunch of Grapes [and a handful of hops]" might be more appropriate! ;)

  2. We have included your blog in our guide Around The World.

    The guide is both a record of old blogs and a listing of new blogs. Although originally arising from the "City Daily Photo Blog" lists this is an independent publication. Inclusion here does not imply that a blog qualifies for nor is officially a CDPB. Our criteria are that photographs mainly from and related to a specific geographical location (not necessarily a "city" but usually more specific than a whole country or region) are posted at dated intervals (not necessarily daily) and archives are kept which are readily searchable by date.

    Please keep us informed of any changes to your details.

  3. The Bunch of Grapes is a good name for an English pub.
