Loved these guys as a kid, along with Ponderosa and Bonanza. Ah well, the half-end of an era.

In the first half of the 20th-century, increasingly minimal "Tudor" references for "instant" atmosphere in speculative construction cheapened the style, which was finally epitomized in John Betjeman's angry 1937 poem Slough, where "bald young clerks" gather:

And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars.

Too much steak, not enough ale.

It was a family restaurant, not a pirate galley!

I never went to one; always had the hint of mystery and real grown uppedness to it... there was alcohol in the place name.
