Summary:

"This well-illustrated book traces the history of the public house in Bradford, West Yorkshire, a centre which exemplifies a key trend in modern British history in its transformation from small, rural market town to industrial city. Setting its subject in a wider social and economic context, it also provides a valuable survey of such important issues as leisure patterns, urban expansion, the growth of local government, licensing laws and the development of the brewing industry." "Paul Jennings examines the evolution of the institution - from alehouse and inn, through gin or dram shop, to beerhouse and late nineteenth-century pub - studying its architecture and interior design as well as the people who gave it life - the publicans and their customers. This book is based on a detailed examination of a wide variety of primary sources and is complemented by over sixty photographs, drawings, plans and graphs."--BOOK JACKET.
