The appeal of a public house is the warm welcome from the landlord, having a friendly conversation with the regulars, sitting outside in summer to enjoy the sunshine or seeing a log fire glowing in winter. Dorset possesses a range of hostelries, from seaside taverns to rural beerhouses to large old coaching inns. Locals and holidaymakers love them but over the years nothing stays the same. Some old thatched pubs have burned down and been rebuilt in a newer style, and many country village inns only survive as gastropubs. It is a pattern that has been repeated throughout the county. This fascinating collection of old and new photographs encourages you to explore the magical heritage of some of Dorset's best pubs - and perhaps sample a local beer or two!
