The new book Great Pubs of England by acclaimed photographer Horst A. Friedrichs and travel journalist Stuart Husband, features no less than four Yorkshire pubs. No pub experience is complete without delicious food to sample and this epic virtual pub crawl charts the history of England’s illustrious pub culture, delving into what makes English pub’s so inviting, so it’s no surprise that Yorkshire is so well represented.
The book is filled with first class photography of 33 of the country’s most notable pubs, all with a story of their own and top-notch food and drink. Amongst the Yorkshire pubs included are Whitelock’s Ale House in Leeds, which earns praise for its gleaming copper-topped tables, stained-glass windows and red Chesterfield-style seating; and The Blue Bell in York – an intimate Edwardian hostelry.
“From historic hostelries to art hubs, via ultimate locals and gastro-temples – we explore the infinite variety of England’s pubs, and celebrate their idiosyncratic glory in words and pictures,” says Horst A. Friedrichs and Stuart Husband. “The English pub is an abiding obsession. This book celebrates 33 of the finest contemporary examples with sumptuous photography and intoxicating prose. Discover Cornish beer shrines, Yorkshire gastro-temples, and Norfolk art hubs that mix history, hospitality – and just a dash of eccentricity.”
