  • The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory
    C THE CAMPAIGN FOR REAL ALE The CAMRA Regional Inventory for London Pub Interiors of Special Historic Interest Using the Regional Inventory The information The Regional Inventory listings are found on pages 13–47, where the entries are arranged alphabetically by postal districts and, within these, by pub names. The exceptions are outer London districts which are listed towards the end. Key Listed status Statutory listing: whether a pub building is statutorily listed or not is spelled out, together with the grade at which it is listed LPA Local planning authority: giving the name of the London borough responsible for local planning and listed building matters ✩ National Inventory: pubs which are also on CAMRA’s National Inventory of Pub interiors of Outstanding Historic Interest Public transport London is well served by public transport and few of the pubs listed are far from a bus stop, Underground or rail station. The choice is often considerable and users will have no di≤culty in easily reaching almost every pub with the aid of a street map and a transport guide. A few cautionary words The sole concern of this Regional Inventory is with the internal historic fabric of pubs – not with qualities like their atmosphere, friendliness or availability of real ale that are featured in other CAMRA pub guides. Many Regional Inventory pubs are rich in these qualities too, of course, and most of them, but by no means all, serve real ale. But inclusion in this booklet is for a pub’s physical attributes only, and is not to be construed as a recommendation in any other sense.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

  • Breweries Public House Breweries East Street Brewery at Kilham
    Breweries The once numerous local breweries in East Yorkshire have long since vanished, with only a few remaining. Two hundred years ago, in almost every village there was a common brewer, or brewing victualler, producing beer for local customers. At the beginning of the 18th century, the ‘brewing victualler’ made most of the beer sold. He bought malted barley locally and hops from travelling agents And produced enough beer for his customers, and maybe one or two other public houses. Later the title changed to the ‘common brewer’ when they were able by law to sell beer only to other publicans and private customers. The end of the 19th century saw the takeover of small breweries unable to compete with the larger ones. This led to ‘branches’ or agencies being used far away from the main home base, and the old site being used as a depot. The small brewer had virtually disappeared. Public House Breweries The breweries in public houses were small, with simple equipment. This was usually a one-quarter plant, designated in the traditional manner by the quantity of malted barley used in each brew. A five-quarter plant was able to mash five quarters (i.e. 5 x 28Ib) of malt per brew, producing 27 ¾ barrels (1 barrel = 36 imperial gallons) of bitter. The brewing skill was passed from generation to generation. Boys were apprenticed to other brewers or with their own kin. Brewing victuallers often combined other skills, as brewing was a seasonal activity. Robert Sanders of Leven was victualler, brewer, maltster, coal merchant, corn miller and vet at The New Inn.
