Origins of "Halfway House " as a Pub Name
Halfway House is sometimes considered to be a reference to Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, however more often the name of a traditional coaching inn partway along a main highway between two cities, towns or villages which may of course have expanded in the time that the pub has existed - usually hundreds of years. So nowadays it may not seem like it is positioned halfway.

What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
