The Maidens Head, Canterbury

Popped in her last week - its been totally transformed inside!

Nice new leather sofas, redecorated, big-screen TVs showing big sporting events and a brilliant jukebox that seems to have just about every song in the universe on it.

The Foundry, Canterbury

Popped in her a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed a couple of pints of "Street Light Porter" - jut the thing for a cold winter's evening. Amazing place with on-site brewery!

The Roundhouse, Canterbury

This place hasn't been open as a pub since around 2005, I think.

We bought the building in 2009. It had been closed up and had been for sale for ages. Someone else bought it off the pubco and got permission to chop the building into flats. Then gave up, and put it up for sale again in late 2008, and we bought it in spring 2009.

Nothing "funny" was going on - when we bought it, we could have done anything we wanted with the building. We have made it into a big student house-share.

And FYI - it is nowhere near the "oldest pub in Canterbury". Was built as the Station Hotel around the time that Canterbury East railway station opened (1860). There are pubs in Canterbury that are wayyy older than this one.
