The Polly Tearooms, Marlborough.

A Marlborough institution....

Extract from their website:

The ancient Roman market town of Marlborough has been a stopping point for weary travellers for generations as it is on the great road from London to Bath and Bristol. The Polly Tea Rooms first opened it's doors in 1912 by two ladies, Miss Jean Leith Hay and Miss Janet McCloud (who was one of the original suffragettes). Tea rooms were a great safe place for these ladies to meet at the time. The building hasn't changed much since then, exept a fire in the 60's destroyed part of the building. Some of the recipes for cakes, chocolate moulds and biscuit cutters from the 30's are still in use today. The blueberry muffins are still the same as those Kate Middleton enjoyed during her school days at Marlborough College when she would visit The Polly Tea Rooms on Wednesday afternoons with her friends.
