Join us with Kris Butler for an intriguing and intoxicating exploration of the history of drinking in Victorian Britain through the ‘drink maps’ promoted by temperance campaigners to curb the spread of licensed premises.These original maps, advertisements and temperance propaganda illustrate a history of patchy licensing laws, rogue magistrates, irate brewers and ardent campaigners, and offer an insight into our seemingly unquenchable thirst for alcohol.
About Kris Butler:Kris Butler is a lawyer, past president of the Boston Map Society and currently serves on the board of the Washington Map Society.
