Birmingham, UK. The first pub was built on this site in the late 18th century and was called the Adelphi Wine Vaults, then became the Albion in 1880. It was renamed The Old Comtemptibles in 1953 to honor a group of the First World War Expeditionary Force (which fought in Flanders from August 5 to Novenber 22, 1914) who met regularly at the pub after the war. This is a grand old pub with high red painted tin ceilings and beautiful bar (with military murals above it), lots of old dark wood everywhere you turn, and of course lots of WWI memorabilia adorning the walls. Even the loo was ornate! One thing I like about Nicholson's pubs are the polished brass tables. And of course a Nicholson's Pale Ale!
