This fascinating volume tells the story of Romford’s pubs over two centuries of history.
Illustrated with over 100 archive photographs, plans and advertisements, it recalls the pubs, the people who ran them, the customers who frequented them and the brewers who supplied and usually owned them. The reader will glimpse the pub in its many guises, from the coaching inns of the early nineteenth century to splendid Victorian gin places, humble back-street beer houses and the more modern pubs of today.
Focusing particularly on the Romford Brewery, Pat Pound draws upon an extensive archive of old advertisements and images to take the reader on a tour of the region’s historic public houses. This book is bound to delight all who are interested in the history of the area.
