It opens with a round-up of the history of brewing, pubs and ale-selling, and a section on Lancashire's pub signs, though most of the book is dedicated to an A-Z of over fifty of the most interesting inns. Their history, architecture, ghosts and associated legends are all featured, as well as the exploits of their famous and infamous landlords and landladies. Peter's exhaustive research has resulted in a gem of a book which brings together the proud history, traditions and customs associated with Lancashire hostelries; from ale tasting at the Plough at Eaves to the Britannia Coconut Dancers and the Crown Inn at Bacup. A fascinating journey with plenty of refreshment stops along the way, this will appeal to anyone with an interest in local history, and those who'd like to know more about the convivial surroundings in which they might enjoy a pint.
