Coventry Pubs by Fred Luckett
Coventry city centre has suffered greatly over the years at the hands of German bombers and city planners, but head out to its Victorian suburbs and you’ll find a diverse variety of pubs, from hostelries of genuine antiquity through to battered old boozers, and from cutting-edge brewpubs to craft beer bars. Local pub historian Fred Luckett takes us on a tour of the city’s finest and most characterful drinking establishments. From bustling alehouses that maintain a live music scene through to traditional taverns offering a more sedate atmosphere redolent of a seemingly bygone age, this book will guide you through the city’s pub landscape.
Born 1950 in Coventry and educated at the local Grammar School, followed by a degree in Economics at Lancaster University, Fred Luckett worked in project management at Rolls Royce Coventry for over 20 years, followed by a stint at the Post Office, before retiring two years ago. He was a founder member of the Coventry branch of CAMRA in 1973 and still active within the organisation. He is the co-author of two books, ' The History of Brewing in Warwickshire ' and ' 1000 Years of Coventry Pubs' and still writes for the Coventry CAMRA branch's magazine.
