Britain's Best Real Heritage Pubs by Geoff Brandwood
This definitive listing is the result of 25 years' research by CAMRA to discover pubs that are either unaltered in 70 years or have features of truly national historic importance. Comprehensively revised from the 2013 edition, the book boasts updated information and a new set of evocative illustrations. Among the 260 pubs, there are unspoilt country locals, Victorian drinking palaces and mighty roadhouses. The book has features describing how the pub developed, what's distinctive about pubs in different parts of the country, how people a century ago could expect to be served drinks at their table, and how they used the pub for take-out sales in the pre-supermarket era. There is a bonus listing of 70 pubs that, while not quite meeting CAMRA's national criteria, will still thrill visitors with their historic ambience.
Architectural historian Geoff Brandwood is passionate about pubs, and is a former chairman of the Victorian Society. His other books include London Heritage Pubs (CAMRA, 2008) and, as a co-author, Licensed to Sell, the History and Heritage of the Public House (English Heritage, 2004, new ed 2011).
