The streets of Britain’s biggest cities were once proudly stocked with all manner of public houses. They are still there of course but the smaller, more neighbouring ones, the places where true conversation about local issues took place and the community could come together as one to celebrate, to communicate and commiserate together rather than being bombarded with noise and 24 hour drinking culture, those are slowly being left to rot, to die upon the alter of greater profits and the notion that they don’t matter anymore. Closing Time is no longer the utterance of the head barman or the landlady finally having had enough for the night and requiring bed.
