Pubs were an important part of our social history because they
were, and still are to some extent, the working man's front
parlour. In the pub or beer house our ancestors could meet with
their friends, with an endless supply of liquid refreshment to dull
their senses and blot out the misery of their daily grind.The pubs
of Nuneaton were, and still are, a resort of comfort in times of
relaxation, in distress and marital infidelity. Back then they
became political headquarters, a home of sporting clubs and
friendly societies and a venue for entertainments such as darts and
dominoes - which were all taken seriously. Pub-goers, like actors
on a stage, played out their part at the bar as the soap opera of
their lives was forgotten. In Nuneaton Pubs, Peter Lee explores how
public houses thrive today, with a new clientele, new decor, and
different (or indifferent) beer, and shows that the pub continues
to form an essential and integral part of the history and social
fabric of our towns.
