Alnwick Pubs: Past and Present

Pubs have always been an important part of the fabric of Alnwick-especially as a stopping place on the historical route north to Scotland. From early medieval times to the present day, Alnwick’s inns have rested and refreshed residents and travellers alike.

Today, in marked contrast to much of the country, Alnwick still has a thriving pub culture. At a time when pubs are under a huge variety of threats to their existence, Alnwick demonstrates a model of resistance. The rich history and current state of Alnwick’s pubs is comprehensively addressed in this book, including photographs, posters and maps. It forms a comprehensive follow-on from Tom Allen’s earlier , and still very popular companion volume  “Alnwicks’s Pubs, Lanes and Alleyways“.
