Inns and Taverns of Old Arundel by Rupert Brooks
|
Inns and Taverns of Old Arundel is a new book by Rupert
Brooks.
The book is a detailed, illustrated account of the inns and taverns
that once existed in Arundel. There were some 40 named ale and beerhouses, of
which only seven have survived. The book is a detailed exposition of where these
old houses can still be found, what they were called in their heyday, and who the
publicans were. Anecdotal reminiscences of the past and recollections of how the
old premises looked have helped to create the atmosphere of these drinking places.
The book includes photographs of the present sites of the beerhouses together with
photographs from late Victorian times.
It is a hardbound, 88-page book, and includes 54 photographs. It
is published by Phillimore. It costs £14.95. It is available for sale at the
History Store, at Larkins in Tarrant Street, at Arundel Tourist Office, or by
contacting the author at
rupert_brooks@btconnect.com.
Rupert Brooks is generously donating all profits from sales to
Museum funds.
