Public houses, taverns and inns have been around for hundreds of
years. From the inns that thrived on marketday trade to those on
the old stage-coach routes, Huntingdonshire had a wide range of
welcoming establishments and in 1900 had over 250 pubs, in addition
to the numerous beer houses which were often run from the front
rooms of ordinary houses. Labourers needed plenty of beer to keep
them going - it was far safer to drink than the water! With images
drawn from the Huntingdonshire Archives, the Norris Museum and
private photographers, this book offers a captivating glimpse into
the history of each pub. Many of them have now disappeared, some
have been demolished to make way for new development and others
have become private dwellings with no trace of their past
remaining. The authors take you on a nostalgic tour of
Huntingdonshire pubs.
