The Smallest pub?

The Smallest Pub?

There appears to be a bit of debate as to which is actually the smallest pub in England. One Researcher remembers a bar on Seaview Street in Cleethorpes which has a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records to say that it's the smallest pub in Britain (or possibly the world). Ironically it's opposite a pub called the TARDIS! Unfortunately, another option exists which says the smallest pub is the Nutshell in Bury St Edmunds. A third Researcher, following a memory (and indeed a T-Shirt she had in her loft) then found the Smith's Arms at Godmanston (near the naked bloke carved in the hillside in the South West).

Apparently the confusion comes in because the Nutshell has a smaller ground floor space, but three floors, while the Smith's Arms has a larger room, but only one floor and hence a smaller overall volume. Legend has it that the Smith's Arms was previously a blacksmiths and King Charles II stopped by to have his horse re-shod. He asked for a drink and was told by the smithy that he could not serve ale because he did not have a license. The King promptly granted him a license on the spot and that was how it became a public house.
