It is not unusual for pubs and other businesses to advertise themselves to canal boaters - it all adds to the interest, but beware of any establishment claiming to be ten minutes away (reckon on at least double that!) This is a particularly curious collection by bridge 41 in Atherstone. Anyone expecting a warm welcome at the Barge and Bridge will be disappointed - the pub closed in 2015 and has since been demolished. And who exactly is selling Calor Gas?
