Bradford Pubs by Paul Jennings
This fascinating volume tells the story of Bradford's pubs over two centuries of history. Illustrated with over 150 old photographs, plans and advertisements, the collection recalls the pubs, the people who ran them, the customers who frequented them adn the brewers who supplied and usually owned them. The reader will glimpse the pub in all its many guises, from the coaching inns of the early nineteenth century, to the splendid Victorian gin palaces adn humble back-street beer houses, right up to modern pubs of the twentieth century. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of both Bradford and its pubs, Paul Jennings takes the reader on a tour from the centre of the city out through the old working-class districts which surround it, including Broomfields, Wapping and White Abbey, and into the varied localities which together formed old Bradford.
