Weekly Wind-Up #2259 2259 ? 30 July 2026 HORSELL (Train to Woking, WOK) The Crown, 104 High St, Horsell, Woking, Surrey. GU21 4ST? Since our visit to The Crown last year the associated Thurston's brewery has sadly ceased, but the pub remains a gem! There has been a pub on the site since 1785 and probably back to 1613, but the two-bar village community pub we see today was rebuilt in 1877 after a fire. A dark beer has been requested amongst the range - the current beer list may be found via the RealAleFinder app - download it from www.Realalefinder.com The pub is about a mile from Woking station, served by frequent trains from Waterloo / Clapham Junction. White Bus services 73 and 48 stop nearby, but are infrequent.

Wind Up North #427 Thursday 30 July 2026 Bird in th' hand, 225 Duckworth Street, Darwen. BB3 1AU

Weekly Wind-Up #2260 2260 ? 6 August 2026 BRENTFORD (BFD) Black Dog, 17 Albany Rd, Brentford. TW8 0NF We return to the 'Black Dog Beer House' earlier this year so that we may make use of the garden in this often very busy pub. Run by Pete and Ash, this former CAMRA pub of the year generally has four real ales and three ciders on hand pump, together with many craft keg options. A dark beer has been requested for our visit and food is also available. Class 458 'Juniper' units are on borrowed time (again!). At the time of writing there are only four diagrams remaining, including some trains to Brentford. There are occasionally substitutions for 701s on the Windsor line too. This will probably be your last chance to have one, if you really need to.....

Wind Up North #428 Thursday 30 July 2026 Yorkshireman, 9-11 Court Lane, Skipton. BD23 1DD
