Pint of History
Pint of History is a project about pubs. Pubs in Ceredigion. Old pubs, new pubs, beer houses, ale houses, taverns, inns, hotels, railway waiting rooms and breweries. And, to be fair, the odd Temperance hotel and cocoa house.
The aim of the project is to gather information about the pubs in the county, and to gain a better understanding of the role of the pub in the community. They were far more than drinking dens (well, sometimes). In the past they were centres of the community: inquests, auctions and grand dinners were held there, people paid and collected their rent there and they even organised friendly societies for their regulars.
The project is being co-ordinated by Ceredigion Local History Forum as part of the wider Cynefin project run by Archives and Records Council Wales
Thewebsite at pint-of-history.wales includes a database with information on nearly 1000 premises. We need more information to add to it though. Please contact the project via the website if you have any interesting (or boring!) photographs, documents and stories about any of the pubs of Ceredigion.
