The Blue Bell

Annan, Dumfries & Galloway:

We walked down to this from the Queensberry Arms. My phone told me it was this way, but we were reaching the end of the town, and I mentioned my concern. Then we looked upwards, to the huge blue bell. Maybe this was it?

Inside, traditional pub, with the interior mostly intact from an inter-war refit as part of a state-managment scheme in the area. Now it’s a pleasant community pub with a choice of cask ale, nibbles on the bar when we visited, and a really nice feel.
