About
The pub was once, described by seventeenth-century diarist Samuel Pepys as the 'heart of England, while the church is its soul'. These days I would say he is only half-right. There remain over 56,000 pubs in Great Britain, half of which are, filled with youngsters, who play loud music on a jukebox that sounds like somebody is, hitting his lawnmower with a hammer, while the next-door neighbor shouts at him over the fence. The other half, however, are the perfect place to while away an afternoon with a pint and fine conversation while quietly contemplating what to do next. Well, that's what I do.
The pub histories told in this collection are some of my favorite pubs and are extracts from my popular book The Old Dog and Duck (There are many more histories in there.) So take a seat in your favorite armchair by the fireside and join me on a pub-crawl along memory lane and around history corner. We may be some time.
