Final posting for 2005 (!). I bought a copy of this book today, and was fascinated not only by the number of pubs which used to be here in Bath, but also by the number of names the book contained. There was even a photo of a pewter tankard which belonged (apparantly) to my 5G-grandfather, Thomas Hunt, who kept The Ostrich in Grove Street. An unlikely source of possible interest to many I think! Copies available from the Oldfield Park Bookshop in Moorland Road, and presumably elsewhere. Happy 2006! Colin Hunt

Take a look at this website if you have publicans in your ancestry. Bristol's Lost Pubs includes all the landlords and has pubs from a wide area surrounding Bristol including Bath: http://www.bristolslostpubs.com/ Colleen ----- Original Message ----- From: <Kvilhaugveien@aol.com> To: <WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2005 10:50 PM Subject: [WSX] Book - "Bath's Lost Pubs" > Final posting for 2005 (!). > > I bought a copy of this book today, and was fascinated not only by the > number of pubs which used to be here in Bath, but also by the number of names the > book contained.
