The Halfway House, Newbridge
This fine pub lies on the A41, an old coaching route through the Midlands. It owes its name to its position half way between London and Holyhead, and until recently had signage on the gable end announcing that it was 140 miles from each. It's to be hoped that it will re-open soon, as a local landmark such as this shouldn't be allowed to close and disappear for ever.
