A Ghost Pub Pilgrimage through Stroud and the Five Valleys Raising funds for the Trussell Trust in September Walk and/or bicycle your way through this list of pubs. Tick them off. Keep a diary or a record if you wish. Take photos for the archive. Let these pub names and addresses Come alive again (‘Have another?’ ‘I don’t mind if I do.’) And help us all out in these hard times; Let’s find them and toast them with imaginary pints On a series of Ghost Pub Pilgrimages on foot or on bicycle, And if you know of any other ghost pubs or inns, Please send them in … Do the list in any order. On your own and/or in a group. And raise funds in any way you wish for the Trussell Trust. Perhaps you have personal or family memories Of old times spent in some of these inns: Got stories to tell? Please send them in. Perhaps draw pub sign for these lost gathering places, Or perhaps write a poem about the pub name, Or have a group rendition of The Listeners by Walter de la Mere.
