At the first indication spring may be arriving, my husband and I decided to visit a pub in Edge Hill. This particular pub is special because it overlooks the valley where the first battle in the English civil war was fought. As I live here longer, I begin to get a better since of what history means and what constitutes "old."

| The Castle Inn Pub was completed in 1750, the octagonal tower marks the spot where King Charles first summoned his officers for civil war |
 |
| Cider is not considered a 'weak' alternative to beer here, (it generally has more alcohol content.) Scrumping actually refers to the activity of going around the countryside looking for apples (i.e. stealing them) to make cider! |

| I loved all the different sauces here, you have the usuals like mustard and ketchup, but you also have "brown sauce" aka HP |
