The significant historical & social differences between these two neighbouring towns are vividly brought into focus by the variation in pubs & other hostelries that have existed, or still exist, in each. Harrogate is a relatively new town which catered for the burgeoning spa trade facilities of the late nineteenth & early twentieth centuries, while Knaresborough is an ancient market town that served farmers & tradesmen who flocked to the market there each week for centuries, as well as workers in local industries. Many of Knaresborough's old inns & pubs survive to refresh what is still a vibrant market town, while Harrogate is now a leading conference centre offering a multitude of pubs & hotel bars. This fascinating new book describes & depicts the many inns, pubs, beerhouses & bars that characterise both towns, with intriguing & often little-known information about their histories & the people who ran them, drank or occasionally died in them. ...
