The pub is one of Britain's great institutions, loved at home and envied abroad. For hundreds of years it has offered refreshment and pleasure to communities throughout the land. The traditional pub, as we know it, was largely a Victorian creation but since the 1960s it has been subject to rapid and often insensitive change. Consequently, fewer than 4 per cent of the country's pubs now have interiors of any signifcant historic value. This books shows how important it is to preserve this unique heritage. It describes the long and interesting history of the public house and reveals how changing attitudes are reflected in its design and planning. From simple country pubs to those shimmering with vivid tiles, painted glalss and gilded woodwork, this book describes them all. It is packed with information on brewing, temperance and legislation as well as a section on the pub mythology that describes the tall tales told about pubs! With over 300 illustration, including specially commissioned colour photographs and plans, this book is a celebration of a treasured British institution.

Synopsis:
The traditional pub is a thing of the past. Such has been the orgy of change since the 1960's that less than 4 per cent have interiors of any historic value. This appealing new book focuses especially on what can still be seen of our once-rich pub heritage. It describes how the long and interesting history of the pub, and changing attitudes towards it are reflected in its design and planning, and how it was organised to serve and entertain the customer. It also deals with the often magnificent embellishment of pubs with ornamental glass, tilework and carved wood in the golden age of pub building around 1900. The book contains over 150 photographs of pub interiors as well as plans illustrating and explaining the development of the public house through the ages.
