A drop of British pub history . . .

Some-one asked me the other day what I knew about the origins of the British pub. All I knew was a little about how the Roman “tabernae” were the precursor to what we now know of as an inn (or tavern), and I wasn’t really too sure about that. It hadn’t occurred to me to look any deeper into it until today, when I came across a bit of history on pub signs…. Well worth a read!
