Maps & Plans

All the location maps and plans in this work have been drawn by the author, and are mostly based on Ordnance Survey plans compiled from the surveys made in 1852-53 and 1890-91. The maps are of no fixed date and are for illustration only. The pubs illustrated did not necessarily exist concurrently with others shown on the same map. The majority of the building plans are held at the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Archive Office in Beverley, mostly archived at BOBE/6.

To include every available picture that I have found during my research for the original book would have been prohibitive in terms of cost. You may wish to look at some of the other images of the pubs however, and those available for easy reference are as follows:

Also see wrongly captioned water-colour by Luke Clennell, (circa 1835) in Beverley In Mid-Victorian Times page 51, which is probably the oldest illustration of the Sun Inn (the junction of Flemingate and Eastgate has been confused more than once; the 1826 directory also listed the Sun’s address as Eastgate).

Valiant Soldier: Beverley Library has one picture in its “Old Beverley file”.
