    Anne, do you happen to know if the Black Bear near Wool is still open?

    Isn't that the Hall and Woodhouse pub in the High Street? - If so then yes I think it is still there. It is not a place I visit more than twice a year at the most.

    Thanks Anne. I haven't been there for a while but it's nice to know it's still up and running! I believe I still have a Loonie on their currency map...
