John Tiffney will explore the loss of many of the drinking establishments and public houses in the town over the years, including names such as the Woodbine, Oddfellows and the Hope Inn, now a saddlery, standing on what was the now concealed Canal. Some were absorbed into neighbouring establishments such as the Sun Inn, now part of the Fleece Hotel, others such as the Waggon and Horses became a residential development. Alongside this was Cirencester Brewery, now the New Brewery Arts and the Anchor brewery on Gloucester St. Colourful lost names include the Three Cats Head, the Pound of Candles and Jacobs Well.
