Cambridge, Bar De La Raf


Recommended Posts

Bueno, a estas horas de la madrugada me encuentro con Unghaar de chachara, y ha salido el tema de fotos y he recordado que tenia estas por aqui guardadas, y aprobecho para compartirlas. Siento que la calidad no es demasiada, y no transmiten el verdadero espíritu que sentí al estar ayi dentro... Pero os lo pongo por aquellos que vayan a ir a inglaterra, ya que personalmente este lugar aunque pequeño, tiene una magia y encanto especial que merece la pena vivir en persona, y bueno aqui os paso las fotos para que las disfruteis.

Termino de comentar, que me tuve que ir y postee a medias...

 

En las fotos se puede apreciar en el techo " garabatos " negros, eso son firmas echas con el mechero por los pilotos que por ahi rondaban, la pared como también se peude ver en las fotos está llena de cuadros con fotos, y en fin... realmente recuerdo que me encantó y me tuvieron que sacar a rastras de allí...

 

Espero que si vais, podais visitarlo, estoy seguro de que os gustará tomaros un cafelito allí mientras observais el techo.

 

Saludos

Y aquí un fragmento que he encontrado hablando sobre el bar:

 

This pub has hardly changed since its enlargement and extensive refurbishment in the late 1980's. This large Greene King pub was reopened by the master of Corpus Christi College in 1992. It is said to be the pub at which Watson and Crick discovered the form of DNA, an occasion marked by a blue plaque. The interior has the carefully crafted appearance of having been slowly cluttered over time, although it has looked like this from day one of its reopening. It certainly seems cosy on a winter afternoon. The pub is divided into 5 rooms, each with a traditional pub decor, and has two bars. The RAF bar to the rear of the pub has writing burnt into the ceiling with cigarette lighters dating from WWII. By contrast, at the front is a no-smoking area, which before the renovation was a lawyer's office. These rooms surround the picturesque heated courtyard, which offers plenty of seating around octagonal tables. The beer garden, which is overlooked by college rooms, is lit by coloured bulbs. Food is served from a counter close to the rear bar. The menu is typical pub food (e.g. fish and chips, steak and ale pie, lasagne) all priced at £5.95. The portions are very filling. Popular during the day with tourists, in the evenings this pub employs doormen.

 

Historic note

 

The Eagle Inn was originally called The Eagle and Child. It only included two of the three sides that surround the beer garden. The north side (RAF bar) was built or rebuilt in the 19th century and has been much altered. The west side dates circa 1600, and is of two storeys with cellars and attics, has only the east front visible; this has an open gallery (visible from the beer garden) of circa 1800 on the first floor, supported on thin cast-iron columns and a later forward extension of the north ground floor room. Beside the central chimney stack are paired staircases to the cellars, to the gallery and to the attics that are entered through 19th century doorways.

 

 

Si alguno va, por favor, que haga todas las fotos posibles y me las mande :lol:

 

Saludos
