One of our members kindly let me know about this talk about the changes in pubs over the last 40 years from the National Archives. It is an interesting listen to hear about the changes pubs have gone through, quite a few of them for the better as well I feel. I hope that the current downturn in pubs will eventually just be seen as another change in the character of pubs as we come out of the other side. I would have loved to have seen some of the pictures of the pubs he mentioned in the presentation.
If you have the time it is worth a listen, and will possibly mention some pubs near enough for you to visit, certainly he seemed to cover large portions of England. It is also amusing to hear about some of the old traditions that used to exist in pubs and may cast some light on some of the odd architecture that exists in the older pubs.
