THE BRITISH PUB – MORE THAN A DRINKING PLACE. Authors: DORIN CHIRA. |
||||||
Abstract: ‘The Temple Inn’ or ‘Cock Robin’, ‘Sale’, ‘Ches’, are wonderful places. Once I thought they were nothing but drinking places. This paper is an attempt to prove that pubs are actually more than drinking places; it concentrates on statements which describe the British pub as one of the main centres of British life outside working hours (Irwin:1990), a major organisational form of society (Borsay:1990), one of England’s great social institutions (Humphreys:1997). References are made to pub names; a short list of beer terms tries to offer a taste of the British pub. Although I have mentioned the status of the alehouse during the Tudor and the early Stuart period or its position in the Victorian period, this paper in not a history of pubs. | |||||||
