(1080p version) for Telegram/Twitter

The example of Brentford's loss of Pubs is a frightening insight into the future of a very bland #Britain. The once bustling high street served the many dockers and traders who brought the place to life. Like most places in #London and it's suburbs, we've too many lost tales to ever truly tell. 🍻

The Laboursome Stairs of #Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
(1080p Edition for Telegram)

🎙 @VinnieSullivan

The capital of #Scotland isn't just a stunning city but a historic gem of monumental importance. The harships of Edinburgh were worsened by its noticeably difficult terrain. To this day, #Pubs still have to haul kegs up Edinburgh's old stairs by hand. This is the story of Edinburghs' unique design and the effects it still has until today.

Booze History 🍻

Porters use malted barley and stouts use unmalted roasted barley. This is an interesting insight into the history of the poor man's drink.

Voices of the past explain the pain of losing their local pub. The pub was by no means just a building to drink, but a much needed excuse to be among others. The loss of the public house and the community therein is but the beginning of Britain's end. 🍻🥃

Had a look around the newly-built Georgian era Drover’s Tavern at Beamish Museum.

Droving, that is moving livestock across long distances, has existed for thousands of years in Britain. The builders of Stonehenge in SW England feasted on animals brought down from as far as NE Scotland.

For many years, the main industrial centres and big cities in Britain had their meat brought in by drovers. Drover’s roads are still found all across the country today. Some are tarmac-covered and used by cars, but others look the same as they were in the 18th century.

The arrival of the steam train brought this way of life to an end around the middle of the 19th century.
