Leicester's pubs have always been more than mere watering holes.
They are where businesses were created, battle plans drawn up and
where murderers once faced up to their crimes. Richard III spent
his final night in Leicester at the Blue Boar in Highcross Street.
Nathaniel Corah began his textile manufacturing empire, which
employed thousands of Leicester people, at the Globe on Silver
Street in 1815. Condemned prisoners on the way to the gallows at
Red Hill were allowed a final drink at the Talbot Inn in Belgrave
where there are still ghostly sightings, and at the Belper Arms in
Newton Burgoland 'Five to four Fred' makes his presence felt
precisely at that time. Other local taverns are frequented for
specific purposes, such as those near the Leicester Royal
Infirmary's Maternity Unit where fathers-to-be and new fathers
steady their nerves or celebrate the arrival of their offspring.
Now, in the Stoneygate suburb, there's even a Real Ale Classroom
complete with blackboard and school bells where customers can be
educated about beer. Leicester Pubs is a 'pub tour with culture',
reflecting Leicester's history through the colourful stories of its
inns and taverns.
