Download or read book More Dorset Smugglers' Pubs written by TERRY. TOWNSEND and published by PiXZ Books. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the eighteenth century, cliff-top fires were used to alert incomingsmuggling vessels to the presence of patrolling Customs Officers. Lighting thesewarning fires was a specific and extremely serious offence carrying the deathpenalty. Inland, communication between illiterate people relied on word of mouthwhich begs the question of how gangs of a hundred or more contraband carrierscould be organised to rendezvous at an appointed time and place.In those days the pub was the hub of rural communities and often acted as thenerve centre of smuggling operations. It was in the pubs that plots were hatched,arrangements for transportation agreed and runs commissioned. At these meetingscertain key men were each assigned to raise small groups and the overalltask of assembling a workforce was completed through pyramid delegation.Historian and author Terry Townsend has once again travelled to towns, villagesand hamlets across his home county seeking 'more' of the authentic pubspatronised over two and a half centuries ago by Dorset smugglers. The result isa beautifully-illustrated companion guide presenting a new selection of pubs thatserved not only as meeting places but also recruitment centres, secret storagefacilities, distribution depots and valued customers.These wonderful old buildings with their low-beamed ceilings, flagstone floors,inglenook fireplaces and secret hiding places are where, with a little imagination,one can sense the desperate days of the men who called themselves 'freetraders'.

Book excerpt: Few walkers today enjoying Dorset's stunning coastal path will have an awareness of its dramatic origins as a preventive measure in the fight against serious organised crime. The track was established as the nocturnal patrol route for Customs Riding Officers on the lookout for smugglers. In the 18th and first half of the 19th centuries smuggling became a way of life in England's southern counties. During these politically turbulent times successive governments imposed duties on a vast range of imported luxury items to fund foreign wars. From the moment taxes were imposed they were evaded and so began the delicious deception of smuggling. Drawing on jail records, Custom's reports, contemporary newspaper articles and eye witness accounts, the story of smuggling in Dorset is revealed here through the history of the pubs that served as meeting places, recruitment centres and secret storage facilities.

Cheers!” —Best of British Is there really a pub called The Toad Rock Retreat? Which one town has the pubs with both the longest and the shortest names? How many Lions, Crowns, and Horses are there?

The author, in his valiant attempt to answer these and many other questions, has produced a book which is surely essential reading. What exactly is a pub? What should pubs be like? Why do we think that way? Is there a perfect pub? Can we imagine one that nobody would ever go in? Who does go in pubs, and why, and for what? Where is the straightest pub crawl? So, how did we get where we are, and where do we go from here?
