If funding can be found, this would be a derd cert publication as a historic guidebook, possibly through CAMRA (wonderful people) that would find an audience way beyond those with merely an archaeological interest in historic buildings. Though many serious ale drinkers already have a firm idea of which pubs have an intact historic character and will always choose to drink in them, especially over the dreaded Wetherspoons.
I've lost count of the number of Historic Building Recordings i've seen done on ex-pubs. For some reason they seem to make good beauty salons and hair dressers (i've no idea why).
For my tuppence worth the White Horse pub in Hertford is a beautiful timber frame building with lots of 'snug' rooms situated right outside the old castle gates, and never has less than eight ales on tap. Now about lunch....:face-thinks:
