In my last post I mentioned Portrait of Elmbury by John Moore. The section about pubs is one of the best pieces of writing on the subject I’ve ever come across. Entitled Roadhouse and Bar Parlour, it can be read via this link – you may need to scroll up a bit to the start.
They sounded like good times. An alas, now vanished world, when pubs were pubs, rather than retail outlets and glorified dining places.
