    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: One of the UK's largest cities, Leeds is a major commercial, financial and cultural centre in West Yorkshire. Leeds Pubs is like a good pub: accessible, friendly and rewarding. It is an engaging guide to the best pubs in the city of Leeds and its surrounding suburbs. The book describes in detail and illustrates seventy or so of the city's pubs, inns and bars, including some that no longer exist or have changed their use. Each pub has a unique story to tell, so the history and development of these pubs is filled with information on origins, the clientele they were built to cater for, significant events and how the pubs got their names or what their names signify. The pubs include the world-famous Whitelock's and The Who Live at Leeds in Leeds University Refectory, the wonderful Griffin and the Scarbrough Hotel, and the many pubs run by Leeds Brewery, Tetley's, Kirkstall Brewery, Timothy Taylor and others. Author Paul Chrystal presents an informative practical guide for anyone strolling in and around Leeds who wants to learn some local history in the most convivial of ways.

  • Waterstones Wiltshire's Haunted Pubs and Inns

    Price: £9.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Wiltshire is weird and wonderful in equal measure. Unexplained mysteries crowd one upon another; crop circles, stone circles, UF Os and circulating stories of the supernatural. This book is essentially a paranormal pub crawl providing a window into this eerie world by exploring twenty-seven of the county’s most haunted hostelries. At its best the English pub is the most enduring institution. No other country has anything quite comparable to these cosy, relaxed, convivial meeting places. They have been inextricably linked to the social and working lives of ordinary and extraordinary people for countless generations. English inns have developed from the monastic hospice, through the coaching age to the advent of the modern luxury hotel. The diverse selection of pubs and inns featured here all share one extravagant extra dimension; they are linked by tales of hauntings. In Wiltshire you are never far from a haunted pub or inn, or a person with a good ghost story. These reports of otherworldly happenings came from landlords, landladies, pub customers and staff and, on occasion, from invited teams of psychic investigators. You don’t have to believe in things that go bump in the night to gain a great deal of enjoyment from this book. Even incorrigible sceptics will find a wealth of interest in terms of conventional history and reference.

  • Waterstones Peak District Pubs

    Price: £11.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: The Peak District's pub heritage is as rich and tasty as the beer that foams from the pumps, and via its inns, taverns and hotels we can trace centuries of social history in one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. This is the story of the packhorse men and lead miners, shepherds and navvies, and the evolution of the traditional Peak District pub from humble alehouse to the present day. We learn about haunted pubs, themed pubs, estate pubs and temperance pubs, as well as one or two pubs which are not what they seem at all. There's an explanation of pub names and signs, revealing loyalties to crown, church and squire; an introduction to a few pub heroes and villains, rituals and merry-making; plus a slightly baffled look at some odd pub pastimes involving toes, chickens and a hole in a wall. Along the way we raise a glass to some of the many local pubs that have been consigned to the great brewery wagon in the sky, and see how others are adapting to the challenges of today - from changing social patterns and lifestyles through to a global pandemic - with small-scale brewing and pub shops, micropubs and community ownership.

  • Waterstones Pubs of Royal Leamington Spa - Two Centuries of History

    Price: £24.95

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Many books have been written about Leamington's history, but this one is unique - it is the first to document the history of its pubs. The authors have painstakingly researched more than 200 years of history tracking back to a time in the late 1700s when the small village of Leamington Priors had around 300 residents and just 2 inns. With more than 220 entries and 250 illustrations, this comprehensive work traces the number of co-existing pubs from just 2 to a peak of over 100 before the progressive decline to less than 60 at the end of 2013; opening/closing dates, licence listings and snippets of social history are also included. Whether you are a serious historian, a nostalgic Leamingtonian with a hankering for the local pubs of bygone days or someone who will just enjoy checking out the photos over a quiet pint, this is the book for you.

  • Waterstones Great Pubs of England

    Price: £35.00

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: ' There is nothing that has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern," wrote Samuel Johnson. Three centuries on, the English pub remains the ultimate happy place for those seeking refuge, recreation, or refreshment. But pubs today constitute a broad church, with old-school saloons and ultimate locals joined by modern reimaginings of traditional hostelries and Michelin-starred gastro-temples. This book brings together 33 of England's finest and most distinctive inns, from Yorkshire dining destinations to Cornish beer shrines. Acclaimed photographer Horst A Friedrichs and renowned writer Stuart Husband capture these places in all their idiosyncratic glory and infinite variety: the pub as artistic statement, social hub, foodie pilgrimage site, personal fiefdom of legendary landlords and landladies, or repository of history. But all pubs share the same time-honoured purpose: to offer the warmest of welcomes, and to lift the spirits. Waterstones Great Pubs of England - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk
