Great Pubs of England sees photographer Horst A. Friedrichs and journalist Stuart Husband cover the length and breadth of the country to find England’s most idiosyncratic public houses, some of which have been at the center of communities for centuries. The pair document over 30 of the most interesting in the book, a “virtual pub crawl”, from spit-and-sawdust to Michelin-starred gastropubs, alongside famous owners such as chef Tom Kerridge and singer James Blunt. Take a look at the gallery. The main story of the book is against all the odds, this little pub has survived to tell its own story. The eyes are the strongest focal point and emotional indicators when observing a face, trying to understand or define the person behind that face.There is a desire to slowly focus on something inside ,thoughts, feelings and even further. That's when Hans got up looked out the window and said:

So, to conclude, this is my kind of pub. Traditional but not remotely seedy with friendly welcoming staff, a welcoming and inviting interior with good honest, quality pub grub. The next time I am in London I will be popping in again for a bar meal and a glass of wine.

Great Pubs of England: See Inside the New Book

Three centuries on, the English pub remains the ultimate happy place for those seeking refuge, recreation, or refreshment. But pubs today constitute a broad church, with old-school saloons and ultimate locals joined by modern reimaginings of traditional hostelries and Michelin-starred gastro-temples.Quite eager to experience The Fox and Pheasant, we arrived on the dot of midday. As the first ones in we got a good opportunity to take it all in. The owner, James Blunt – yes, the James Blunt says in the book that ‘his main job was to make this place beautiful’. Well, he succeeded. James and his team have done an amazing job, considering this seventeenth century coaching inn previously had a reputation for being insalubrious and know amongst locals as the Fox and Unpleasant. Our thoughts on The Fox and Pheasant It’s very difficult to get barred from here, but it can get quite interesting at times,” says landlord Henry Conlon. He recalls the night that a trench-coated couple came in, removed their outerwear to reveal their naked bodies, and clambered onto one of the bar tabletops to indulge in a short but energetic bout of congress (“everyone else just carried on drinking – I mean what else could you do?”).

I love a good English pub. Not just for a drink but for the inspiration and experience. If a pub has all the right elements and designed well, it can feel like home from home– comfortable, welcoming, warm and cosy. Although my home interiors don’t look like a pub, I often take inspiration from them. If I walk into a pub and I get that warm, fuzzy feeling, I look for inspiration of how to create the same feeling at home. It can be attributed to design, paint colour, lighting, accessories or all the above. Sometimes it simply down the buzz and vibe of the people in it. I wish I’d become a pub interior designer. It’s something I feel quite passionate about. Who knows, one day…. London, a good place to startThe History of the Blue Book Bell Volume One 1798-2022” charts the life of the award-winning hostelry over its first 120-odd years. Or the time when thrash core band Cradle of Filth carried a coffin through the pub, out of which popped a topless woman who sprayed the audience with fake blood. On such occasions, says Conlon, his octogenarian mother Peggy, who still lives above the premises, has the perfect response: “She gets her holy water out and starts spraying the place, saying her Hail Marys.” Published by Prestel and written by Horst A. Friedrichs and Stuart Husband, the book features 33 of England's most distinguished inns.
