Heritage Pubs
The United Kingdom has over 60,000 pubs. One of their great joys is their sheer variety. They range from simple rural pubs to late-Victorian extravaganzas, from the genuinely old to the aggressively modern, from urban back-street boozers, through suburban estate pubs, to picture postcard rural idylls. Every architectural style is represented, be in Art Nouveau or Art Deco, high Gothic or post-war Brutalism.
CAMRA is wholly committed to doing all it can to protect our dwindling stock of intact historic pub interiors. They have a Pub Heritage Group made up of CAMRA members who are passionate about protecting and promoting our historic pub interiors. Some members of the group are recognised architectural and pub historians.
The Group is also developing Regional Inventories featuring interiors which, whilst not in the absolute top drawer, are still rare and precious survivals. As so many pubs are being refurbished (and horror! sold for other use, there are always changes so it is best to check out the Group's National Inventory of interiors which have remained intact for a long time and/or have features of exceptional historic or architectural importance.
