Illustrated with over 100 images, this book presents the history of
central Birmingham's public houses, the people who ran them, the
customers who frequented them and the brewers who supplied and
usually owned them. It is of interest to both those who frequent
the pubs of this area and those interested in the history of
Birmingham.
The Black Country was the industrial heartland of England, a harsh
environment of coal and iron mines, of nail and chain making. Its
people worked hard, and drank hard. This is the story of brewing in
the region. It was often on a small scale, like the industry
itself. The Black Country is known for its home-brew houses, and
the characters associated with them - Ma Pardoe, Old Sal, Batham's,
Holden's and Sarah Hughes - are part of our brewing heritage. The
rise of the big brewers came late to the region, but made a major
impression. Mitchells & Butlers at Cape Hill and Banks at
Wolverhampton have strode through the pages of the brewing history
of this country for over 125 years. This book, complete with over
100 illustrations, provides a fascinating insight into the history
of brewing in the Black Country.
