- but all have a story to tell & all have that air of mystery that only something of dubious functionality can acquire. Somerset Follies sifts fact from legend & takes a sideways look at the people who put up an astonishing array of buildings purely for pleasure. This comprehensive survey, drawing on extensive new research & including many previously unpublished archive photographs, offers a compelling guide to some of Somerset's most celebrated landmarks

From Chard to Chewton Mendip & from Witham Friary to Withypool, Somerset Pubs is a journey into the past, with photographs of over 140 pubs in the late nineteenth & early twentieth centuries. Coaching inns rub shoulders with back-street beerhouses, time-worn taverns wtih roadside hostelries. Although many are still open, the way of life captured in these photographs is one that has gone forever, destroyed by the onward march of time. Yet this is not just a wistful look at the past. After decades of rationalisation & standardisation, local pubs & breweries are staging a comeback, while farmhouse cider is more popular than ever. Somerset Pubs celebrates a tradition that, despite all the efforts of the multinationals, never really went away. This virtual pub crawl into the past is not so much an exercise in nostalgia as an inspiration for the future
- & for journeys in search of Somerset's pub tradition.
