Step back in time as we explore the rich history of England's beloved pubs, starting with The Ship Inn in Deal, Kent. This quaint pub, once home to a stunning chimneypiece now preserved on paper, has been a staple of Small Street for generations. Join the crowd gathered for the University Boat Race in this engraving from Putney to Mortlake, as we follow the excitement to The Ship Inn in Griffin Lane, sketched in the late 1800s. Wander through the picturesque Porlock and its neighborhood in Somerset, as seen in this engraving, and take a moment to appreciate the Ship Inn's timeless charm. Fast-forward to August 1950, where we find the Ship Inn in Porlock still standing, a beacon of tradition amidst the changing landscape. Experience the beauty of Porlock through the lens of a black and white photograph, and then bring the colors to life with this stunning color lithograph of The Ship Inn. Finally, let us sail away to the picturesque harbor of Weymouth, Dorset, where fishing boats dot the horizon and the Custom House Quay comes alive at dusk.
