“There used to be a brickworks in Bolsover called the Bolsover Brickworks, and they used to make Byron bricks. That’s the connection to Bolsover. I’m going to have a little story up explaining why that’s the name.
“I’m keen on having that connection, so people can see and talk about it. It’s all part of the little social pub that I want to generate in there.”
