If you enjoy the occasional pub meal, a drink at the bar, or if
you're interested in Lancashire's social history, you're sure to
find something entertaining in Peter Thomas's introduction to the
county's pubs. It opens with a round-up of the history of brewing,
pubs and ale-selling, and a section on Lancashire's pub signs,
though most of the book is dedicated to an A-Z of over fifty of the
most interesting inns. Their history, architecture, ghosts and
associated legends are all featured, as well as the exploits of
their famous and infamous landlords and landladies. Peter's
exhaustive research has resulted in a gem of a book which brings
together the proud history, traditions and customs associated with
Lancashire hostelries; from ale tasting at the Plough at Eaves to
the Britannia Coconut Dancers at the Crown Inn at Bacup. A
fascinating journey, with plenty of refreshment stops along the
way, this will appeal to anyone with an interest in local history,
and those who'd like to know more about the convival surroundings
in which they might enjoy a pint.
