Odd places you've found pubs full of Brighton pics and memorabilia in... Addingham

[HalifaxSeagull]

I woke up this morning to a text from my bro, he'd been to a pub on Addingham (West Yorkshire nr Ilkley) and found it full of Seagulls pics and memorabilia... Turns out the landlord is ex pat and a massive fan.

At 1st I wondered if Brighton Bill (former landlord of The Junction, Baildon) had taken it on but it looks like he's now doing this:

Where have you bumped into any expat fans running pubs / cafes etc?

The Swan is a decent real ale pub, well worth a visit if you're visiting the dales (or even on route to Bolton if you don't mind a massive detour!)

The Fox at Corfe Castle in Dorset and The Sun at Leintwardine in Herefordshire each used to have photographs of ME on the walls. Sadly, no longer so.

Not Albion related, though.

The Rock House Inn in Dulverton has A Pennant behind the bar and several other Brighton bits dotted around.

I went on holiday in Cornwall a couple of years ago and stayed at a Holiday Village in Praze-an_Beeble (about 12 miles in land from Penzance). Once the car was unloaded we went off to explore and a pub in the village had an Albion Flag proudly flying out of an upstairs window.
