York. Built in the early 1800s, this pub was originally known as the Board Inn. The building used to be a prison and there is still a window at the pub through which prisoners begged to be fed. During excavations in 1816 a tunnel was discovered leading to an eerie dungeon where chains and manacles were hanging. It is claimed footsteps and voices can still be heard today. There is a small bar at the front of the pub with many rooms with lots of brickwork and dark wooden beams to choose from in this spacious pub - luckily I got the seat in front of the hole in the wall! Also lucky to have enjoyed a pint of Bombadier Glorious English Ale - the brewery in Bedford is now closed.
