The 1000 Year Pub Crawl

Daniel Neilson

Many of the great decisions of British history were made in pubs. King Alfred’s army was inebriated when it tackled the Normans at the Battle of Hastings, the author, Marlowe, was stabbed to death in one, Churchill met Roosevelt in a pub, Dickens is famous for them, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army rested too well in pubs, poets and playwrights have made second homes of them. The 1000 Year Pub Crawl is a light hearted survey not only of the premises, many of them still standing, but of British history as viewed through an inebriated eye.
