The bucket of blood in Cornwall, pretty sure it's the only one with this name.

Not sure on my facts but I think Stalybridge has the pubs with the longest and shortest names ?

So this is what I was told.

Centuries ago Richard owned the pub. His wife to be died on their wedding day, and he vowed to never wash again. So the pub became known as Dirty Dick’s
