The story behind our pub history and investment in the UK.
I have recently updated the pubs and Billericay Inns and surrounds from an excellent resource I found online, listing the Inns in 1962.
The state of public houses are largely a problem caused by the issues of the larger companies owning too much, and keeps coming back into focus.
In the 1990s we saw public houses being closed to avoid anti-competitive law.
And now in 2024, after many pubs closing or entire pub chains going into bankruptcy, and then sold to investment companies, the problem has just got worse.
And I am still updating this pub history site despite all of the sites wgich plainly steal all of my hard work, in Kent, Suffolk, Cambridge and Sussex; and probably a whole lot more. Don't forget China who steal everythimg.
The latest news from Enfield is the Toby Carvery (the King and Stinker); which thinks it OK to chop down a 500 hundred year old Oak tree because they suggested that it was unsafe and needed to be decimated. Not only is there 500 years of history, but the many thousands of species around its eco-system would also be hurt. I cannot suggest that you use your personal choice and avoid Toby Carvery and the Mitchell and Butler chain in future. That is on your own conscience.
My research in London pub history is amazing, not that anyone has noticed.
Please send me some pictures and other detail to update the sites.
