Being an old town with a long history, walkers touring Chepstow can still find remnants of a bygone age.

Cobbled streets, so often a feature of modern pedestrian precincts, were rather less even years ago, but nonetheless effective.

This is Hocker Hill Street, at the lower end of which is the Five Alls public house. The Five Alls is a traditional pub sign; the Soldier who fights for all, the Priest who prays for all, the King who rules for all, the Lawyer who pleads for all and the Labourer who works for all.

The Five Alls was always a favourite of mine... stepping through the door was like taking a step back in time.
