Exeter Pubs by David Cornforth
Over
the past few centuries, nearly 500 pubs have opened their doors in
Exeter. While many have been lost due to time, money or misfortune,
the stories and memories created in these 'locals' live on. Exeter
Pubs offers a captivating glimpse into the history of some of Exeter's
most famous pubs. Drawing upon an eclectic collection of photographs,
David Cornforth presents the reader with an insight into the history
and life of the pubs in this area. From pub dogs to landlords, famous
visitors to suspicious fires, this book tells the stories of Exeter's
numerous watering holes. Just like countless travellers over the
centuries, the modern reader is encouraged to stop for a pint in each
and continue the stories of these historic establishments.
Well-researched and beautifully illustrated, Exeter Pubs provides
something for everyone, whether they have lived in Exeter all their
lives, or whether they are just visiting this vibrant town. Available
from Amazon Exeter
Pubs (Amberley Pub)
