Minstrel Wine Bar 1988

Above photo March 1988, kindly sent by Philip Dymott.

 

Said to be the oldest building in the town and traced back to 1430.

Classed as a wine bar, this changed name to the "Olde Thirsty Pig" at present, in the late 1990s I am led to believe, and the reason being given (unconfirmed) is that they changed the name to give it a new image as someone died in the pub.
