A pub which inspired the famous marching song of the First World War, “It’s a long way to Tipperary”, is on the market.
The Tipperary Inn in Honiley, near Kenilworth, Warwickshire, has its place in history as the pub where the song was written by Harry Williams and Jack Judge.
Mr Williams’ parents were publicans who ran The Plough Inn, where the song was written.
He purchased the pub for them with the royalties he received from the song and they, in turn, changed the pub’s name to The Tipperary Inn.
The pub, which features photos and information relating to the famous song, attracts tourists, many from Tipperary itself.
The Tipperary Inn, a historic village pub with restaurant, has a lounge bar and restaurant which seats 80 guests.
The private accommodation on the first floor comprises five rooms plus a kitchen and bathroom which could be adapted to provide five letting bedrooms.
The pub is run by Mike Malhan, who is relocating to another pub for family reasons.
The leasehold of the pub is available for £85,000 through the Nottingham office of business agents Davey Co.
