SUFFOLK - Bury St Edmunds, Nutshell National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One The Traverse, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1BJ Tel: 01284 764867 Opening Hours: 11 to 11 Draught Beer & Cider: Greene King Real Ales Public Transport: Railway Station: Bury St Edmunds Listed Status: Grade II The tiniest pub in the country* at a mere 4.6m x 2.5m internally. The three-storied building itself is probably early- to mid- C19 and is timber-framed and rendered. It is very shop-like with large windows enabling you to see the whole of the interior without stepping over the threshold! It contains an old counter and bar back shelves; seating is on bare benches attached to an old panelled dado painted brown. The question is - how many people can you get into the Nutshell. The answer is 102 plus a dog called 'Blob', all of whom set a new record on 10 March 1984, beating the previous record by one. |
