Is that a pub? You Brits are known for the best/strangest pub names, but this sounds so straight forward, it throws me off ;-)

Looked like a library to me.
If it were a bar, I would call it Duke of Hazzard. :-)
Well I know the signboard that reads "Thwaites Fine Ales and Lager" isn't easily read even when you click for the bigger picture, but how could you mistake it for a library?
Still I'd bet that it has been nicknamed the Dukes of Hazzard on a number of occasions for various reasons.
I walked past the pub twice a day the whole time I was at Hyde Grammar, now the college.
Although I lived around a mile away I don't think I ever went into the 'duke'!
Hyde was once described on TV as a bend in a motorway with pubs and chippies, it seems all the pubs are closing now. My dad's old favourite, The Spinners, went when the motorway came, I believe The Royal Albert has gone now, The Commercial? The Railway?
I don't know about the Royal Albert. I think the Commercial is still going. The Railway (Inn) is still there. I saw it the other week when I was taking pics around there although I didn't take one of the pub.
Tylers [ex Church Inn] appears to be boarded up now.
EEEEEEK!
Mark, stopping into the pub on your way home from grammar school???
I dunno Gerald...what do you think...was that allowed back then?
Hmmmmmmmmmm...no wonder everyone in the UK has PUB on the brain!!!
LOL! JUST KIDDING!
