Listed pubs? Must be worth a tour...

I've witnessed many pubs being completely ripped to pieces and modernised, particularly in the 1960s and 70s.
They were transformed into a building of the moment for a different clientele i.e. from barrel to keg and bottle.
Fortunately most were rebuilt to last only for a moment which in a great many cases was a moment too long but the old pub was lost forever.
I think anything that will add a control over a good looking public house being completely altered, mutilated, destroyed or flattened is a good thing.... having seen what has been done in the past.

Mock Tudor seems to be a development of the Arts and Crafts style. The quality of workmanship was often very high and I like the features. The timber frame in my own mock tudor pub is structural and peg jointed, and it sits on a carved stone plinth.
Pubs tend to be tennanted so the standard of maintenance is often poor and mine needed some serious repair. I wouldn't have taken mine on if it were listed but am trying to work to that sort of standard.
I quite like the modifications that have been made to my pub over the years. It started out as thatched timber frame building with wooden chimney not far off tudor in date. Some of the original frame survives but it is now encased in mock tudor inside and out. Much of the late 1970s internal mock tudor might soon disappear.
