The Taverns of Old England Henry Parr Maskell

Originally published in 1927, this is a wonderfully detailed guide to the taverns of old England. With the aid of many examples and a wealth of illustrations and photographs, it classifies the various types of inn that sheltered our fathers on their journeys incidentally telling the story of the old House of Call and the part it has played in the making of England. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
