As we start to enjoy the beautiful British summer time, here at the Archives Hub our thoughts often turn to beer and beer gardens. We thought we ought to celebrate this by devoting our August feature to pubs and all things hostelry and alcohol related.

We are highlighting descriptions for the records of breweries, licensed premises, and trade associations, plus the papers of pub users – and temperance campaigners.
