Long Eaton N97#3p55 N2k#3p55

In Long Eaton there are two "mug" symbols shown on the map.  These are for the The Old Ale house and the Royal Oak.  The Hole in the Wall, has no "mug" symbol, but is in the Good Beer Guide 2000.

The Royal Oak description has been removed in the 2000 edition. The 1997 edition said:  Tel: 0115 972 1874.  Bass and Worthington real ale.  Bar meals available 12:00-14:30 and 17:00-22:30 every day.  Vegetarians catered for.  Children Welcome.

The Old Ale House only had 4 real ales on 19th March 2000.  The 2000 editions claims they serve five.
