London (TAN): England’s oldest hotel, a historic Grade II listed accommodation, has been put up for sale for GBP 1.4 million. Drake pub, located on the same street, also forms part of the sale, reports said.

Located in Goole, East Yorkshire, the property overlooks the River Ouse. It was constructed in 1824 by Sir Edward Banks, a bridge maker.
