The story behind our pub history and investment in the UK.

The story behind our pub history and investment in the UK.

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. The entirety of Greene King is now owned by Hong Kong, the water companies are all owned by France, as are our Railways. A company called Stonegate is the biggest owner of pub real estate in the UK, and owns David Lloyds gyms, and so much more.

Currently, the latest updates are for the pub history in York, in the East riding of Yorkshire.

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.

Currently I am testing the new bootstrap as the bootstrap menu is not showing up on my iphone.
What is showing and working on iphone is the email link; but email links do not work on a desktop in any browser!
