Do any British pub experts know anything about a Race Horse Inn that was once in, or relatively close to, Ulverston in Cumbria, UK?
I have a photo of it that I can't share, but it's front door was elevated from street level with symmetrical staircases (of around seven steps) left and right to access it.
Its landlady was once Agnes E. Brocklebank, and at some point it appears to have been tied to Bass, but my usual searches have yielded no results.

Can anyone make out the long word/phrase in the second layer of this palimpsest?
Layer 1 (rust lettering): "Whitebread, Earl Russell Inn"
Layer 2 (black lettering): "The Earl Russell, West _______ try"
The location is 143 Lawrence Hill, Bristol BS5 0BT (corner of Earl Russell Way) and the sign was revealed from beneath a billboard between 2019–20: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oKGDHEaDayoEB6ELA.

Dear Whinging Friends, :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
As we in the UK (allegedly) know, 'musn't grumble'. Maybe we should a little more?
- Brexit? Bet you can't eat three? Eh wait that is wheatabix, readybrex, shredded wheat/wit? Something tasteless with added sugar rush? :ablobcatpopcorn:
- The #weather is now so #unpredictable we can talk about it and whinge even more. Result!
- We are now #bank ruptured. Oh the #humanity
Easy to be a whinge bag. #Fortunately we have some of the #brightest minds in the IMPerial Empire of little In-gland:
- Pubic [sic] transport run by runner haz beans...
- Schools making way for Pink Floyd, 'We don't need no education, Teacher leave them kids alone'. #Sum mishtake surely.
- #Food #grown in #inns and out of hunger #allotments 🥬
Expect more surprises. As they happen, mostly by accident...

International nonproprietary names (#INNs) seem too rational for this world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_nonproprietary_nameI'm amazed that they launched as early as 1953 and amazed that they didn't fizzle in 1954.

Ich bin sehr gespannt.

Hope that #Japan’s inns and #ryokan #旅館 will not lose their unique and globally distinctive #omotenashi #おもてなし #御持成 🙏
"“In 10 years about 40% of inns will be owned by foreigners,” said Yuji Tsuji of the Hotel & Inn Research Center, which also acts as a real estate agent. He added that he is seeing a rise in requests from owners of traditional inns, or #ryokans, who want to sell to foreign buyers, and a rapid increase in inquiries from Chinese nationals looking for #inns to buy" -
During my research, I wondered what persuaded my 4 x great grandfather Richard Morgan to travel twenty miles west from Llantrisant to settle in Pyle. Then, I hit upon a theory. As an ostler, he moved there to work at Pyle Coaching Inn, the main inn on the main highway. Then, while researching the births of Richard’s children, I discovered that he was listed as a horse keeper at Pyle Coaching Inn. It’s lovely when your theories are confirmed by the facts.
