Henry Shukman recently crafted a heady piece of  penmanship for The New York Times which took me, and now you, on a journey back to the pub of yore,  (  “that smoky, yeasty den of jollity” ),   and a look at what they’ve become since.

I’m usually one to skim an article and move on.  This one demanded that I grab a stool and pay attention.  Henry grew up in the northeast Cotswolds hence knows well the flavour of the good glass.

Take some time, and have a taste of history.
