      Bath has an unusual abundance of ghost signs - those faded advertisements for long defunct businesses on the walls of old buildings. This book contains a series of short walks around the city and neighbouring towns and villages which reveal the tales behind lost trades such as brush makers, corn factors and perfumers.

      From moorland taverns to ancient coaching inns, and from harbourside hostelries to backstreet beerhouses - the history of Devon's pubs is as rich, diverse and colourful as that of the county itself. Over 450 of Devon's pubs - some long gone, some still thriving - feature here in archive photographs and tales from the past.

      To know Wiltshire's inns is to know Wiltshire. Their history has been inextricably linked to the lives of ordinary people for generations. At a time when pubs are closing faster than ever before, this collection of pictures and stories from the past is a reminder of how rich that heritage is - and how important it is to preserve what is left.
