In line with Commentator Diplo's request for a monochrome photograph of an Up-to-Date Puzzle Location, I give you....? The only help this week is that it's a location within the borders of my most recent travelling (qv). I didn't stay at this inn, but the place it's in does give rise to many thoughts about the current nature of the contemporary English village. Of which, of course, more later.
Possibly a few too many clues - I hope - you mentioned you were off to The West and the only Salutation I know over there is in Woebley ? I suspect the price of beer's gone up since I was there !!!
Look - I'm sure i've gotthis one, BUT, a shocking statistic is developing. It seems that most of my WTT? successes rely on a public houise or brewery to provide the clues. Is this normal ? Will Igrow out of it? I sit just a phase ?
Funny that DC - I reckon there's one in The North - Ilkeston ish, I remember coming across one back in't 70s whilst working at Mapperly Park open cast pit. The Salutation at Wibbly Wobbly was the scene of an extended lunch on the way back from collecting a 500 Matchless & Outfit from somewhere in the Brecon Beacons - can't remember the village but it had a Seven Sisters 'phone number, this'd be around '82/83 I'd guess.
Diplo: Remember that Wibbly Wobbly's pub is Ye Olde Salutation. There's another Salutation up on the old coach road above Norham on the Northumberland Scottish border.
Tom: So sorry, I'll make it up in Elgood's Black Dog next week!
The Salutation in Hammersmith is a Fuller's house with easily the best selection of spirits anywhere. Pint of Pride and a Pussers chaser ... can't believe you've not been in Peter .. or perhaps you have and were to p****d to remember!
An impressive share! I've just forwarded this onto a co-worker who had been doing a little homework on this. And he actually bought me dinner simply because I stumbled upon it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending some time to talk about this subject here on your internet site.
This is very interesting, You're a very skilled blogger. I have joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your wonderful post. Also, I have shared your website in my social networks!
Hello i am kavin, its my first occasion to commenting anyplace, when i read this post i thought i could also make comment due to this sensible article.
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Great choice of colors!
I am a designer, writer and photographer who spends all his time looking at England, particularly buildings and the countryside. But I have a leaning towards the slightly odd and neglected, the unsung elements that make England such an interesting place to live in. I am the author and photographer of over 25 books, in particular Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2006), More from Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2007), Cross Country (Wiley 2011), The Cigarette Papers (Frances Lincoln 2012), Preposterous Erections (Frances Lincoln 2012) and English Allsorts (Adelphi 2015)
"Open this book with reverence. It is a hymn to England". Clive Aslet
Preposterous Erections
"Enchanting...delightful". The Bookseller "Cheekily named" We Love This Book
The Cigarette Papers
"Unexpectedly pleasing and engrossing...beautifully illustrated". The Bookseller
Cross Country
"Until the happy advent of Peter Ashley's Cross Country it has, ironically, been foreigners who have been best at celebrating Englishness". Christina Hardyment / The Independent
More from Unmitigated England
"Give this book to someone you know- if not everyone you know." Simon Heffer, Country Life. "When it comes to spotting the small but telling details of Englishness, Peter Ashley has no equal." Michael Prodger, Sunday Telegraph

Blimey Diplo, monochrome really does work for you. Wobbly Weobley it is.
Also a cheaty search of BITE (Beer in the Evening) reveals that there is, in fact, only one pub countrywide with that exact name!

You mean you were that close and you didn't come to see us at Ton Farm?

oh - silly me !
Indeed, BITE lists 16 pubs with Salutation in the name, but only one "Ye Olde...".

I do remember Alastair.
