Description

Illustrated with more than 200 old photographs, postcards, and promotional advertisements, this absorbing collection offers the reader an insight into the life of many Herefordshire pubs past and present, and highlights some of the changes and events that have taken place during the last century. The selection relates the history of Herefordshire's many pubs, from the days when they were filled with agricultural workers and gentlemen drinkers (and the occasional dentist or doctor plying his trade) to the pool tables and cigarette machines of today's establishments. The book provides a fascinating and comprehensive history of brewing in the county, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Herefordshire or pubs in general.
