I came across The Lost Pubs Project via a re-tweet on Twitter.
Basically it does exactly what the title suggests, a record of pubs, inns and hotels that have closed over the years listed by town/village. It’s an interesting site for those who remember pubs that are no longer with us.
Not the prettiest web site, but a worthy project that I have bookmarked. I look forward to seeing how it develops.
It looks like it’s hand coded. Every pub has it’s own individually created page. The owner must making work for himself, surely it would be easier to manage using WordPress with a WIKI plug in or a stand alone WIKI script.
I’ve been trying to remember the name of the landlord of The Old Swan at Toller Porcorum in the 1990s. Is he still in the area?
