Anne R. Bradford Bücher

Over ninety public houses and hotels are featured in this book. There is a brief overview of each one, giving type of inn and the fare on offer. Every inn has a story to tell. Some were patronised by royalty, others were smugglers dens or the local 'pick-up joint'! Some were caught up in the civil wars of the 1600s, others were a venue for an illicit romance. A few have even been involved in a murder. Above all, in every one of these hostelries, at one time or another, a ghost has made its presence felt.

Secret Redditch explores the lesser-known history of the Worcestershire town of Redditch through a fascinating selection of stories, unusual facts and attractive photographs.
