Tolkien visited his son John when he was a pupil here. The surrounding area, the Forest of Bowland is said to have been an inspiration for The Shire. Inspiration for The Shire "None have measured the road between Rivendell and the Forsaken Inn, a day's ride east of Bree." The inn of Stock in the Eastfarthing of the Shire. It stood at the meeting of two roads, one running southward from the Brandywine Bridge and the other, the Stock Road, running eastwards from the Tookland. Members of the Took clan would therefore pass the Golden Perch if they travelled east to meet the Brandybucks of Buckland, and it's clear that Peregrin Took, at least, was familiar with the inn. He reported that it served the best beer in the Shire's Eastfarthing. The inn took its name from a river fish, presumably one found in the Stock-brook, or the Brandywine that flowed nearby (Tolkien suggested that the inn was popular with Hobbit fishermen, so explaining the choice of its name). Bilbo Baggins inside Bag End, one of the illustrations by J.R.R. Tolkien for his book, The Hobbit.
