Historic Interest

At the top of a hill, almost as far from the sea as you can get in England, there was a boat. It wasn't Noah's Ark, it was a pub. Established by Bass in 1997 as one of their student-themed "It's A Scream" pubs, and in its later days owned by Stonegate. Situated between two Leicester University Halls of Residence, it had games, music, sports TVs, and giant snakes & ladders! It also attracted football fans on match days. Unfortunately the land was required for university expansion, so the pub had to go.
