The Gallows and Glockenspiel is unquestionably the oldest watering-hole in the United Kingdom. Quite often, it is also the newest. As Britain's only known time-travelling pub, the Gallows and Glockenspiel lurches around the space-time continuum, arriving according to an unknown schedule and always departing at closing time. Imperturbable barman Hooligan Motts and a faithful band of regulars journey through history, learning the lessons of Britain's glorious past as far as their drinking allows.
