Pubs in Lincoln - A History

Pubs in Lincoln: A History:The City’s Inns, Public Houses, Beerhouses, Breweries and Maltings

The theme of this edited collection – Lincoln’s pubs and breweries through time - forms a prominent aspect of the city’s society, culture and economy. The chapters range mainly over 200 years from the early nineteenth century and explore various buildings and structures within the city that were – or continue to be – associated with some aspect of the drinks trade.

The volume examines breweries, maltings, inns, public houses, beerhouses and, in at least one chapter, premises that provided a clear alternative to alcohol. In addition to examining the buildings themselves, the volume explores the many and various uses made by Lincoln’s inhabitants and visitors of these often prominent and much-visited buildings.

Alongside the chapters’ text are historic images, contemporary photos and a map plotting the location of Lincoln’s pubs, beerhouses and main breweries and maltings in their nineteenth-century heyday.

This publication is the first in a new thematic series planned by the Survey of Lincoln.

The book includes a range of historic and contemporary images to supplement the text. The publication’s retail price is £7.50.

Some material researched and produced for the booklet was not used for space reasons but it complements material in the booklet and deserves to be publicly available. This section of our website will present items related to the history of Lincoln's public houses, beerhouses, inns, breweries etc and we hope to provide updates and revisions to the text of the booklet if they become necessary.
