The Bull and Bladder 
Okay Jim what was it really called?

Weeeellll - technically the pub is called The Vine, but all the locals call it the Bull & Bladder after the butcher's which used to be next door...

Now that looks like what I'd call a proper Pub
Here's my local - The Railway Tavern - pool table, dartboard, bands every Saturday, Sky only on for footy rugby or cricket. Norfolk Ales and guv'nor Dave knows his stuff - he founded the first Beatles Appreciation Society in Norfolk and used to do "Norwich Ghost Walks" in full Jack The Ripper Outfit. He;s also got the biggest collection od Dylan memorabilia I've ever seen
We even get tribute band "Pure Floyd" playing off the back of a 38-tonne trailer in the garden every summer

Nice looking local there
Just a pity that our local, despite being a true haven for any real ale fan, is just another Stevenage estate pub on the outside...

I've seen a lot worse estate pubs than that Jim - and I bet you have too! (And they do say it's what's on the inside that counts  )

Interesting idea - all Sheddites should post pictures of their local

Good Idea - spread the word 
I'll bung one on of my second local, Bar Sport in Llucmajor in a week or two - Cafes y Soberados permitting, of course.
I'm so excited about seeing ACYL's pub I'm not going out til he's posted

Out of interest this place was my local when on my recent camping trip - El Paradiso!!
(oh and many sore heads  )
Shame they don't have a pic of the inside of the warehouse.....I was in there for hours!

They were in the local pool league which I used to play in when I lived in NE Norfolk.

Ok, I can't find a picture of it, but imagine your average pub, built circa 1940, with neon lights and a front yard covered in drunken students.

Hello mate
The Pool team's still going strong - I play with some of the guys on a Tuesday and they really are brilliant players. I'm no slouch myself but i can't live with some of them a lot of the time. One mistake and that's often it 
Typical Shed - one post about a Pub and it quickly gathers global momentum
