Struggle

The Strugglers Inn, Lincoln. Popped in for a post recital half pint the other night at this nearby bucket list hostelry. Lovely beer and a fabulous locals vibe.

History
Originally the Struggler Beer shop, the addition of the "s" being relatively modern. It is said to take its name from victims struggling while being taken from the court in the Castle for execution at the gallows sited some 100 yards beyond the pub. 

The pub dates back to 1841 and was once run by Albert Pierrepoint, a well known hangman in Lincoln at the time.
