More about this scene
Here we see the chain ferry across the Great Ouse at Holywell. On the far shore is the renowned Ferry Boat Inn, which has been selling beer since 1068 - in fact there are documents which suggest it was an inn as early as 980, which makes it one of the oldest licensed houses in the country.

Took him to our table and showed him the problem. Very helpful & polite. The problem is the vegetables, Cauliflower the chef is happy to serve it up looking like it has gone off.
