This is the third and final part of my attempt to identify all the pubs that Morse visited during the 33 episode series. This post includes episodes 21 (Dead on Time) to episode 33 (The Remorseful Day).
The following information will be included in each detail about the Morse episodes:
1) Time – This relates to the hour, minute and second that Morse is shown in the pub.
2) Pub – Name of pub and it’s address followed by a picture from the episode.
3) Pub today – This will be a photo of the pub as up-to-date as possible.
4) Location – This will be a map of pub’s location. Click on maps to get a larger view.
5) Info – This will be additional information relating to the pub, location or anything else of relevance.
Clicking on the pub names will take you to their website and will open in a new window.
