The booklet documents the history, up to 1974, of Edgworth’s alehouses and inns. It focuses mainly on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries describing the range of licensing laws introduced to control alcohol consumption. It also documents the development of all the various licensed establishments in Edgworth selling intoxicating liquors during this period.
A TLHS walk is also planned around these premises later in the year.
