24 Fore Street is a Grade II listed building in Plympton, Devon, England. [1] [2] Standing on Plympton's main street, it dates to the late 18th century. [1]

Although its interior has not been inspected by Historic England, it was evaluated by Time Team in 1999. In the episode, architectural historian Beric Morley discovered a large timber lintel spanning a fireplace. A dendochronology sampling dated the timber's felling date (but not the date it was inserted into the fireplace) to around 1290. [3]

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks Pub in St Albans, England

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a public house in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It is one of several pubs that lay claim to being the oldest in England, claiming to have been in business since 793 AD. The pub was once recognized as the oldest in England by the Guinness World Records, but this title was rested in 2000. The building is described by Historic England as being of 16th-century appearance, but as the earliest date for which it can be proved to have been licensed is 1756, and even that date is not certain, its claim to this record is somewhat uncertain. Others such as the Ye Olde Man & Scythe in Bolton, Greater Manchester, and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham may have better claims. Even in St Albans, the White Hart and the Fleur de Lys are believed to have been trading as inns in the late medieval period.
