Have you ever run a Pub? You can add your pub history to the UK pub history site. You can contact the pub history site via my email : Kevan. There are over 10,500 images on the site and more than 47,000 pages of pub history - these numbers increase every day as I add new pub history research. The pub history site has now been evolving for more than ten years, with a significant number of additional pub history researchers who regularly update the site with historical detail and imagery, old and new.

This is a local search engine of the UK Pub history site. You can search by surname, street address, or public house name. The search engine updates weekly. If you are looking for a specific pub history listing, some of these can only be found in the sitemap - see the navigation bar on the left.

Here is my site for accessible transport in London, aka nogobritain.com; It is not bad, but help me to make it better.

Please support a campaign for Bangladesh, which will add a few pence to a piece of clothing emailing these companies who wish to see people dieing without decent rights, and also stop shopping in  these places - thank you. E.g. Debenhams, Gap and ASDA (Walmart). I will remove the companies names when they sign up to a fair deal for the workers in Bangladesh
