NOSTALGIA: Fox cub settles into life at Boston-area pub in 1976
‘Alcifrolic’ was the latest attraction at the Bricklayers Arms at Old Leake 45 years ago.
It was not a new drink, musical group or pub game, but a six-week-old fox cub adopted as a pet by the licensees, Mr and Mrs Gell.
The cub was given to them by a farmer who found it with its dead mother.
Jean said the cub had settled right into pub life alongside their two large Afghan hounds.
“He is already house-trained and being taught to fetch and carry,” she said.
