Book: Barkway’s Inns and Pubs
Beer, Beds and Stabling – A History of Barkway’s Inns and Pubs, c.1750–1920, by Jon Mein.
Looking for a Christmas gift for someone who loves local history? Published by Barkway Local History Group, this book explores the fascinating history of Barkway’s inns, pubs and the travellers who passed through the village.
Once a busy route between London and Cambridge, Barkway welcomed everyone from wealthy travellers and Newmarket racegoers to waggoners transporting goods and drovers taking livestock to London’s markets.
Drawing on historical sources, the book reveals how passing trade shaped the village, its buildings and the lives of its residents during a period of enormous change.
Available from Bow Books, Royston – the perfect Christmas gift!
