#Britain's longest-lived bar closes #【#British millennium old cockfighting tavern closes#】According to the Washington Post, a British pub called "Old Cockfighting" that has existed for more than a thousand years recently announced its closure. Hotel leaseholder Christo Tofali said in an interview that "the pandemic and the government's public health restrictions have squeezed his business and prevented him from meeting his financial obligations." Located in St Albans, England, the pub is the oldest and longest-lived pub in the UK, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, cockfighting was prevalent in the area, hence the tavern's name. It is rumored that Cromwell, a famous "protector" in British history, stayed here during the Civil War. Before britain was founded, construction began near the ruins of an ancient Roman city. Today, the tavern has been in existence for more than 1,200 years. Due to its long history, the tavern was once named "the oldest pub in England" by the Guinness Book of World Records. This world record was later shelved due to difficulties in fully verifying history. (China Fund News, Zeta)
