beautiful drawing, beautiful pub. Is there a mine nearby to inspire The Shovels name? Those big fooffy hanging baskets of flowers on the outside walls seem so very peculiarly English. No Aussie pub has anything like that.I'd love to have A Ploughman's in there. possibly would also like a ploughman to have me in there ...
Annie, there's a lot marsh nearby, which used to be dug for the peat, so I suspect that's where the name originates. As for the hanging baskets...we've got 'em outside our front door. They add a bit of colour in the summer, and act as an adventure for caterpillars.
