The Tyning Inn Radstock


A postcard of our local pub the Tyning Inn taken by Susan. With panoramic views over Radstock the beer garden was once the home of Quoits matches - a game associated with miners and still played in parts of Britain. How about a revival 'round here?

According to Radstock Museum we won the 'world championship' in 1927 - beating Farrington Gurney in the final (FG is about 4 miles away)!!

Movie made by school children on Quoiting
