Have you ever wondered what the social life in the pubs of Witney was like long ago? From the obvious to the not so obvious this book will give you a taste of life in the pubs. Long before cars, television and the Internet the pub really was the hub of the community. It was the place where people went to socialise and to catch up with all the news and gossip. From births, marriages and deaths, change of landlord to crime, inquests into cause of death and the sale of brewing equipment and household goods the newspapers of old tell it all. You will also be able to discover who the landlords were who ran the pubs through the years. From a few months to a whole lifetime and longer. This revised version contains the results from the 1921 Census and a timeline of Witney pubs, showing them in chronological order.
