Briton's Protection Celebrating 200 Years as a pub
The Britons Protection on Great Bridgewater Street in the City Centre is one of a handful of city centre pubs that is listed on the CAMRA National Inventory of Historic Pubs. In June this year the building will have been there as a pub for 200 years and the current owner will have been there for thirty years. This calls for a big celebration.
Peter Barnett and business partner Markus Stephens together with their Manageress, Gwen Partridge and staff are planning a grand weekend of fun and fund raising on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th of June.
On 16th March 2011, the Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) will be 40 years old. CAMRA branches across the country will be marking CAMRA's 40 years of campaigning with a series of events throughout the anniversary year.
