At the rear of the Full Shilling


The gate at the rear of the Full Shilling bears the sign for Guinness and the address St James' Gate Brewery, Dublin.

The pub on Tivot Dale used to be called the Kings Head but that closed in 2008 and in 2009 it re-opened as the Full Shilling.

It is classed as a "Freehouse" which in the UK means - not tied to a particular brewery and therefore free to purchase its ale from anywhere.

Searching for information about pubs on the internet is difficult as there are so many sites that merely list everything in the "yellow pages phone book" and have no real information of any use whatsoever and they clutter up the first dozen pages of any internet search. The pub review pages don't seem to rate it very well but they aren't necessarily reliable and as a teetotaller myself I wouldn't know.

I have some more photos of the pub which I'll be showing at a later date.

A contribution to signs, signs and Good Fences.

    I don't drink, myself, but some of these pubs have good meals. This one looks interesting.

    I like the white facade against the red brick walls!

    Hello, they are certainly well fenced at the rear of the pub. No freeloaders getting in there :D)

    Nice sturdy fence with little chance of climbing over.

    I don't drink myself but the fences to me are eye catchers. I have eaten years ago in a pub. I know the food is delicious.

    Interesting looking pub, but given a choice, I like my Guinness in Ireland. It tastes better there perhaps because it isn't pasteurized in Ireland, but is everywhere else. That gate looks like the one at the Dublin brewery.

    Love the fence and the brick. I'm not a beer drinker, but we did enjoy the London pubs we visited ...

    I think they don't want any fence jumping there. Interesting but confusing designs.
