The Public Houses of Sutton Coldfield 1800-1914 - Paperback

by Stephen Roberts (Author)

This book is an A-Z of the drinking places that existed in Sutton Coldfield between 1800 and1914. These pubs were at the heart of life in the town at a time when there were few other places to go. The book includes much fascinating and entirely new information about who owned and ran these pubs, how they made a living from them and the challenges they faced, including drunk and disorderly customers. Accompanied by engravings and photographs from the time, the book is an important contribution to our understanding of life in Sutton Coldfield in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
