Item description from seller

Taverns in Town (1973) by Michael Roulstone and Alan Roulstone ? Balfour & Travellers Rest Sold with minimal dignity by Crappy Old Books ? where heritage meets half a pint of mildew. Taverns in Town is a boozy, brick-and-beamed love letter to the public houses of yesteryear. The Roulstone brothers stagger through the history, folklore, and fading signage of Britain?s traditional inns?those smoky, storied places where deals were struck, revolutions whispered, and many a local forgot what day it was. Published in 1973, it?s part guidebook, part historical rummage, and 100% steeped in warm ale and nostalgia. Our copy? It?s had a few rounds. The cover?s curling like a pub mat, there?s a suspicious stain near page 47, and the previous owner clearly enjoyed a Guinness with his reading. But the charm is intact?and so is the smell of woodsmoke and pipe tobacco (probably). Crappy Old Books ? Where the past comes slightly warped and faintly damp. Nice clean harback with good dust jacket and great illustrations.
