Public Houses
Until the 1980s Great Bentley had five public houses. These were The Red Lion (now used as offices), The Victory Inn (now a hair salon), Dusty's Wine Bar (now the pharmacy), The Plough Inn and The Royal Fusilier at Aingers Green. Only the latter two (The Plough Inn and The Royal Fusilier) are still in business today.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or houses:
“The public ... is rather apt to be unreasonably discontented when a woman does marry again, than when she does not.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“I like old people when they have aged well. And old houses with an accumulation of sweet honest living in them are good. And the timelessness that only the passing of Time itself can give to objects both inside and outside the spirit is a continuing reassurance.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
