Hardback. Condition: Good. Inns of Sport (1949) Whitbread & Co. Ltd Hardback Raise a pint to Britain?s sporting past with Inns of Sport , a charming 1949 celebration from Whitbread & Co. Ltd that fuses the country?s two greatest obsessions: sport and ale . This illustrated volume meanders through the lanes and byways of England, stopping off at cricket pavilions, racecourses, boxing gyms, and riversides?always finding an atmospheric pub close at hand. More than just a promotional piece, this is a lovingly penned paean to the local, where publicans swap tales of rowing legends and corner-table football punditry is practically a sport in itself. Think village greens and tankards, oars and horse brasses, all wrapped in post-war optimism and the comforting smell of pipe smoke. Our copy at Crappy Old Books may have a splash of age-related foxing (which only adds character), but the spirit of the thing remains: a warm fireside browse for the nostalgist, the pub lover, or the weekend sportsman. Cheers to the days when the final whistle meant one thing? last orders . 54 pages, 7 colour plates and 26 illustrations in black and white. No dustcover.…
