Flossie

Flossie died a few years ago but the parlour pub / beer house where she lived and worked ruled her entire life has been preserved and lives on in Leintwardine. Parlour pubs are now a rarity but in the 19th century people generally purchased, and drank, their beer and ale in private dwellings. The Beerhouse Act of 1830 allowed the householder to pay a license fee of two guineas to be allowed to retail beer and cider from their own house. I haven't been inside yet but Mr HM tells me the beer is good!
