The book also includes illustrations and photographs that help bring the inns and taverns to life, as well as anecdotes and stories about the people who frequented them. Overall, The Inns and Taverns of Pickwick is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English drinking establishments, as well as fans of Charles Dickens and The Pickwick Papers.In chapter two of The Pickwick Papers we get a further glimpse of the inn, centring in a more exhilarating and epoch-making incident. The Pickwickians were to start on their memorable peregrinations from the ""Golden Cross"" for Rochester by the famous ""Commodore"" coach; and Mr. Pickwick having hired a cabriolet in the neighbourhood of his lodgings in Goswell Street arrived at the hotel in order to meet his friends for the purpose.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
