The Llandoger Trow is a historic public house in Bristol, south-west England. Dating from 1664, it is on King Street, between Welsh Back and Queen Charlotte Street, near the old city centre docks. A ''trow'' was a flat-bottomed barge, and Llandogo is a village north-west of Bristol, across the Severn Estuary and upstream on the River Wye in South Wales, where trows were once built. Trows historically sailed to trade in Bristol. The pub was partially destroyed by a bomb in World War II, but three of the original five projecting gables remain. It is a grade II * listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 Tradition has it that Daniel Defoe met Alexander Selkirk, his inspiration for ''Robinson Crusoe'', here,〔(Bristol Tourist Information ) History & Heritage〕 and it was Robert Louis Stevenson’s inspiration for the Admiral Benbow in ''Treasure Island''. In the Victorian era the pub was associated with the Theatre Royal, which is across the road, and was visited by many performers and musicians including Henry Irving. In 1962 it became a Berni Inn, but now belongs to Whitbread and trades as a Brewers Fayre. Another notable Bristol pub, The Old Duke, is situated opposite the Llandoger Trow. In 2007, The Llandoger Trow was one of the three locations seen in the Pirate's Cove episode of ''Most Haunted Live!'' The others were Blackbeard's houses and Redcliffe Caves. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Llandoger Trow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
