Hull Pubs and Breweries: Images of England

As social centres and places of entertainment, Hull''s old pubs hold an important place in the lives of the majority of the city''s population. Hull Pubs and Breweries uses over 200 photographs and other ephemera to take the reader on a journey through the rich architectural diversity available within the many historic and important pub buildings in Hull, and illustrates the changing face of Hull''s public houses from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Scenes from the breweries, along with images of brewery vehicles, staff and many long-lost pubs, are featured as well as chapters illustrating related areas such as the corner off-licences and Hull''s two largest former breweries, the Hull Brewery Co. and Moors'' & Robson''s. Visited by countless generations of families for hundreds of years, the promotion and appreciation of these thriving centres of the community has never been more important.
