Geocache Description:

Prestbury has 5 'watering holes' for a population of only ~4000. I grew up in Prestbury and can recommend them all.

The co-ords are for a parking location.

Solve the clues to get the final co-ords for the cache. All the locations to solve the clues are within 0.5miles of the parking location. The final is about 1mile from the parking location.
The clues are not in any particular order.

1. In what year was this pub established? 18AB. (look at the hanging sign)
2. A Jockey lived here, and 'a shoe of his pony hangs in the bar'. Add the number of letters in his surname - this is C (look for the plaque)
3. How many bees are on this pub sign? D
4. How many horses are pulling the plough? E (look above the door)
5. What are the last 3 digits from the hotel's telephone number? FGG
Note: the hotel has recently closed (Nov 2010). You could use google street map to find the answer. But if not, use the hint

Cache location:
