Description
The pub has been at the heart of English life for generations.
But how has this unique institution developed over the centuries?
Paul Jennings traces the history of the English pub, looking at how it evolved from the coaching inn and the humble alehouse, through back-street beerhouses and 'fine, flaring' gin palaces to the drinking establishments of the twenty-first centuries.
