Public houses are an important
part of Wiltshire's social life. The pub is more than just
a shop where drinks are sold and consumed.
For centuries it has been a place where friends meet,
colleagues 'talk shop' and business people negotiate deals.
The place where people gather to celebrate, play games
or to seek quiet relaxation.
Due to changes in the law, the pub is now a place for
families. It is re-establishing itself as the place
to eat, a tradition that all but disappeared after
the last war. Many provide affordable accommodation, particularly
in rural areas.
Popular Pub names! The
Rovers Return, the Queen Vic, the Bull and the Woolpack
are all well known English pubs, but you can't have a drink
in any of them. That's because they exist only in soap-opera
fiction. They illustrate how the pub is at the heart of
the community, in villages, towns and cities, all over
England.
