Would Smell as Sweet...

Rose, originally uploaded by Neorelix.

I keep walking past this and forgetting to catch a shot to post even though it's one of my favourite Cambridge buildings. Situated on Emmanuel Road it's not very prepossessing I know but I have a soft spot for ex-pubs. I'm sure you've guessed that it used to be called The Golden Rose. I'm not sure when it stopped serving beer - before my time that's for sure but I'm pleased that the subsequent occupants have kept the facade original - especially the curved doors and, of course, the rose itself. And regarding the quote, I suspect Bonham's (auctioneers) smells a lot sweeter than the pub did...
