Now to say that our new book on pubs and bars is a book for
all occasions may seem boastful, but I think not.
This is the story of the pubs, bars and beer houses of
Chorlton covering the thirty-three you can visit, and another seven that
vanished long ago.
They are grouped into six walks making it possible to gently
amble from one to another taking in the history of the area as well as "The Stories Behind the Doors."
Added to which each drinking establishment is introduced by
an original Peter painting with more of his artwork “peppered” throughout the
book, along with a series of old and new photographs and a selection of maps
which will both help you navigate the walks and tell you a bit more about
Chorlton.
So if you want to know about the man, the goat and the
Trevor Arms, the notorious Black Horse or the Home Office enquiry at the Lloyds
into the “Great Chorlton Burial Scandal” look no further than the Chorlton
edition of Manchester Pubs, The Stories Behind the Doors.
It is out on Friday May 19 and you can pre order at www.pubbooks.co.uk email Peter at peter@pubbooks.co.uk or the old
fashioned way on 07521 557888
Leaving me just to commend this fascinating volume of 33 in the sure knowledge that you will find the stories
interesting, the pubs and bars delightful and the 6 walks instructive.
