FOR THOSE WHO ARE VAGUELY INTERESTED, DERE STREET REFERS TO THE ROMAN ROAD WHICH HEADS NORTH THROUGH PIERCEBRIDGE (NEAR TO WHERE I LIVE). I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE FULL CREDIT FOR THIS IDEA, HOWEVER THERE ARE PROBABLY SEVERAL REGULARS FROM THE WHITE SWAN (MORE INTELLECTUALLY MINDED THAN ME) WHO WOULD STATE IT WAS THEIR IDEA.
HE DOESN'T LOOK A PARTICULARLY BLOODTHIRSTY ROMAN EITHER - IN FACT I WOULD SAY HE WAS A FRIENDLY LITTLE CHAP - SO IT'S CLEARLY ALSO NOT A HOMAGE TO SPARTACUS EITHER (THE SKY VERSION, NOT THE KIRK DOUGLAS ONE)
ANYWAY, HE'S FIGHTING HIS WAY TO A PUB NEAR YOU - ALTHOUGH HE HAS BEEN AND GONE AT THE GEORGE.
THE SHIP AT MIDDLESTONE VILLAGE
THE WHITE SWAN IN GILLING WEST
THE BLACK BULL, MELSONBY
THE BRIDGE - COULD BE WHORLTON, COULD BE MIDDLESTON TEESDALE
THE FROG AND FERRET, SPENNYMOOR
THE SHOULDER OF MUTTON, KIRBY HILL
THE COUNTY, AYCLIFFE VILLAGE
THE QUAKERHOUSE, DARLINGTON
THE SURTEES ARMS, FERRYHILL STATION
THE GEORGE, PIERCEBRIDGE - BEEN AND GONE I AM AFRAID
