Cheshire Pubs and Pub Signs 26th November

This month's speaker was local historian Tony Bostock. Tony gave a well attended meeting a two part talk. The first part was a social history of drinking, with taverns, ale houses, beer houses, inns and public houses, in England from Roman times to the present. In the second half, Tony gave us a whistle stop tour of the more ancient and famous Cheshire pubs and their histories, whetting our whistles for future excursions.
