Geoff Sandles lists all public houses in the county, past and present, with supplementary information on breweries and landlords and old images. Gloucestershire Pubs is a comprehensive list of nearly 3,000 pubs. Although many of the pubs have long since closed there are still plenty that have survived into the 21st century – despite the smoking ban and the ever spiralling tax on beer. Much of the research comes from two old books that Geoff has discovered whilst browsing in Gloucester Record Office. The titles ‘Gloucestershire Petty Sessional Divisional Licensing Records 1891 and 1903’ hardly sound interesting but Geoff has unearthed fascinating details about the pubs including what breweries supplied the beer and an impressive list of landlords names.
