This book takes the reader on a tour of Cheshire's inns past and present, discovering the origins of their names and the stories behind the signs.

The 'pocket book' nature of this book makes it an ideal gift for anyone wanting to follow a historic trail of Cheshire’s inns, and will especially appeal to local history groups who organise such walks.
