THE Fighting Cocks is still officially Britain's oldest pub despite a challenge from a Bolton landlord who says his pub is older by at least two centuries. Mr John Jewitt, who runs The Man and Scythe in Lancashire, made his claim in a televised interview last month featuring the pub's role in a medieval festival celebrating Bolton's 750th anniversary. He said his pub dates back to 1251, which he believes makes it 234 years older than the Fighting Cocks http://www.fatbadgers.co.uk/Britain/old.htm Dec 17 09, 4:49 PM
