Saffron Walden - Queen Elizabeth Pub on Fairycroft Road Took this picture because of the lovely portrait on the pub sign, plus it was my first experience with a 'free house' and I wanted to enquire as to what that meant.  It turned out a lovely and interesting photo though, more than I expected, with the composition of sign, sky and palm tree on the roof.
