Brothels and taverns, ale houses and inns, the not-so sedate and refined Salisbury has seen it all. From its earliest days, Salisbury has been well furnished with all manner of drinking establishments, and attempts in the 16th century to limit their number ultimately failed here, as it did elsewhere. Salisbury's pubs have traditionally enjoyed a lively trade from locals and the military, as well as being a key stopping place for weary travellers. The authors take a unique and affectionate 'pub-crawl' through the watering-holes of Salisbury and its environs, looking at those that have survived town planning, management companies, and economic down-turn, and the changing and evolving use of the much loved 'local'. As they turn each page, readers can mingle with the locals, encounter the odd ghost, gasp at tales of 'murder and mayhem', and ponder on secret tunnels to the Cathedral, but overall, enjoy the rich tapestry of Salisbury's drinking life.
Born in Belfast, and brought up in a community steeped in history, it isn't surprising that a childhood interest became a lifelong passion. Carol Dixon-Smith taught history at secondary level before going on to research the subject for academic purposes. She has been a full-time Bookseller and Events Manager for many years, is the founder and Director of the Thames Valley History Festival, and is an active member of the Windsor Local History Group as well as Editor of their journal 'Windlesora'. Catherine has a BA in History and Archaeology, an MA in Local History, enjoying focusing on the development of towns and cities and the social and economic effects on people, their occupations and social mobility. She has also conducted wide-ranging research in Family History. Having been employed in both curatorial and education roles in museums, Catherine has given many talks over the years on topics related to her work and research.
