If you enjoy the occasional pub meal, several pints at the bar, or if you're interested in Yorkshire's social history, you'll find something entertaining in Peter Thomas's introduction to the county's pubs. It opens with a brief chapter about the history of brewing and pubs, and a short history of pub signs in Yorkshire. Most of the book is dedicated to a round-up of around seventy-five of the most interesting inns - their history and architecture, ghosts and legends associated with them, and famous and infamous landlords and landladies. Varied illustrations and local trivia are all included
