Many books have been written about Leamington's history, but this
one is unique - it is the first to document the history of its
pubs. The authors have painstakingly researched more than 200 years
of history tracking back to a time in the late 1700s when the small
village of Leamington Priors had around 300 residents and just 2
inns. With more than 220 entries and 250 illustrations, this
comprehensive work traces the number of co-existing pubs from just
2 to a peak of over 100 before the progressive decline to less than
60 at the end of 2013; opening/closing dates, licence listings and
snippets of social history are also included. Whether you are a
serious historian, a nostalgic Leamingtonian with a hankering for
the local pubs of bygone days or someone who will just enjoy
checking out the photos over a quiet pint, this is the book for
you.
