Episode Synopsis
The origin of pubs can be identified in the taverns of Roman Britain and the alehouses of Anglo-Saxon times, but today the nation’s pubs are closing at an alarming rate, with over 400 lost in the UK in 2002 alone. Even Wetherspoons have been left feeling the pressure, putting 32 pubs up for sale in recent years.But with more and more pubs closing, are we losing something more significant than just a place to drink? Dr Claire Markham of NTU's School of Social Sciences has been researching the rural pub for over 13 years and explores the importance of this token of British village life in the latest episode of the Re:search Re:imagined podcast.
