When looking at the History of Pubs within Britain (the section of the video to which myself and Hannah are focusing on) I came across an article which presents examplesof the oldest pubs in Britain. I thought this was a good article as we could use some of the examples shown to contextualize the section of the video regarding the history of pubs.
The list of pubs demonstrates how public houses are embedded and entrenched not only within British society, but British history. Some of these pubs date back over one thousand years, for example Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St Albans, Hertfordshire which was established during the 900s AD. This demonstrates that certain pubs are quintessential elements of certain communities which may have detrimental effects on such communities if those pubs were to close due to the struggle of the industry as discussed in previous blog posts.
In future blog posts I shall be investigating what provisions are in place if any to preserve pubs not only in terms of architectural sites but also as individual businesses as well as what historical movements may have been seen or acknowledged in these pubs.

I did a little bit research few weeks ago about the history of British pubs, I found the articles and guides about London's pubs.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe you and Hannah can look at the London's old pubs, maybe you can go there...
You can look to the article, I think it is quite interesting.
