The image below is of a drawing relating to my experiences of Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem.
This drawing represents one of the primary feelings that I felt during my visit to Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem - claustrophobia. This is not to say that I did not enjoy my trip there, I really like the pub and it's design and general atmosphere. However, there is definitely a sense of claustrophobia to be found within the system of caves that make up some of the rooms inside.
During the time I was there, there were times in which people had to squeeze past one another. For example to get into one of the back rooms, there were two lines of people moving against each other in a very tight space. It was undoubtedly cramped. The drawing is of one of the spaces at the back of the inn, located in one of the caves. I wanted to show the sense of claustrophobia by filling it with people. I could have added more people into the image and really exaggerated the point, but actually the amount of people in this small space is quite realistic, and to me that is all the more powerful. For me, this image genuinely represents the real idea of claustrophobia from the inn.
