S0401 Bolands

After one totally normal, and one totally normal but soggy, pub in this general area I was expecting a third (and a fourth, etc etc). But that I did not get. 

Bolands is quite a large pub, and yet despite its size, is completely decorated inside with music, movie and comic book content/memorabilia. From 7" singles on the ceiling to movie posters on the walls, there isn't really an inch left without some form of pop culture decoration. It's certainly a change from the oil cans and anvils greebling that many other pubs have.

The pub wasn't massively busy for the time of day, and particularly compared to the Millhouse; but we'll see that trend a bit further in the next pub. The area may be slightly over-provided with pubs; even with the complicated restaurant-bar-then-nightclub of Blakes / Burn / whatever you remember it as across the road being a cleared site now

The pub has been up for sale a few times in recent years - 2017 and 2022 - but I'm not sure if it has actually changed hands.
