This fascinating volume tells of the story of Norwood’s pubs over two centuries of history. Illustrated with more than a hundred old photographs, plans and advertisements, this collection recalls the pubs, the people who ran them, the customers who frequented them and the brewers who supplied them. The reader will glimpse the pub in all its many guises, from the coaching inns of the early nineteenth century to the splendid Victorian gin palaces and humble back-street beer houses and right up to the modern pubs of the twentieth century. Drawing on the archive of the Lewisham Local Studies Library, as well as on the author’s own extensive collection of images, Norwood Pubs takes the reader on a guided tour through all the historic pubs in the region.
