Hen & Chicken

I'm sure I've noticed before that the Hen & Chicken had a roof garden—Lisa says there were tentacles poking out of there a while back, as is often the case in Bristol, oddly—but I very rarely look up at the place. I've been on the first floor for a good few comedy shows, most recently Mitch Benn.

Good grief! Just found a combination photo of two previous versions of the Hen & Chicken building on Pintrest. It really has changed over the years. The original building was lovely. A victim of bomb damage, perhaps....

And, going back further to try to find out, I instead came across a watercolour of the Hen & Chicken from 1900 on Know Your Place... It's clearly the Trigger's broom of pubs, given how much in common the current building has with the original.
