wow great clip!

those guys really nail it huh? The voiceover guy in that song mentions the knights templars and that the inns were named 'arms' because they were founded by military orders. This reminds me of what the romans did which was to radiate straight roads out from londinium (luds gate) across the country so that they could move troops around quickly to pacify the locals if they rose up to challenge their occupiers.

The same was done in the scottish highlands when general wade built roads across the highlands and a series of forts was built up the great glen from fort william to fort augustus to fort george as well as a barracks near kingussie. Interestingly an abbey in fort augustus was caught up in an abuse scandal but i'll leave that there...

This was all done to pacify the highlands and INNS were definately part of this infrastructure because they were placed a certain distance apart to enable people to travel along those roads and gain shelter and sustenance for themselves and fodder for their horses. In his book 'the poor had no lawyers' andy wightman mentions inns as one of the conditions imposed on highland chiefs by the templar royals to pacify their lands and to enable the cultural AND physical genocide of the highlands:

'1n 1608, James VI embarked upon perhaps the most decisive attempt to pacify the highlands'- p46 The poor had no lawyers

King James kidnapped by subterfuge (he invited them for a religious service onto a boat which then promptly set sail with them on board) twelve highland chiefs and threw them in prison for twelve months until nine of them agreed to sign a statute agreeing to repair kirks, establish inns, control liqeur, expel the bards and send their eldest sons to the lowlands to be educated; he hoped to abolish gaelic and establish english as the language of the highlands. he passed a statue in 1496 to have landowners sons educated in universities to learn the laws of the crown

After the battle of culloden the estates of jacobites were forfeited and heritable feudal jurisdictions and military wardholding were both abolished. This completed the feudalisation of the highlands. As highland lairds aspired to improve their status in wider british society they embraced sheep farming and drove the people off the land

Much clan land was sold off in the 1800's due to financial mismanagement. Clan chiefs were often in exile or bought out by outsiders who brought their own factors in who then lent on the local peasantry

The loss of small scale cottage industry beer brewing to big corporate brewers because of changes to tax law and licencing...

Last Orders- Excerpt from 'Lost crafts' by Una Mcgovern

'in former times, to set about to show to englishmen that it was good for them to brew beer in their houses would have been as impertinent as gravely to insist, that they ought to endevour not to lose their breath; for in those times (only forty years ago), to have a house and not to brew was a rare thing indeed. Mr Ellman, an old man and a large farmer, in sussex, has recently given in Evidence, before a committee of the house of commons, this fact: that, forty years ago, there was not a labourer in his parish that did not brew his own beer, and that now, there is not one that does it, except by chance that the malt be given him. The causes of this change have been the lowering of wages of labour, compared with the price of provisions...the enormous tax upon the barley when made into malt, and the increased tax upon the hops. These have quite changed the customs of the english people as to their drink. They still drink beer, but, in general, it is the brewing of common brewers, and in public houses, of which the common brewers have become the owners, and have thus...obtained a monopoly in the supplying of the great body of the people with one of those things, which to the hard-working man, is almost a necessary of life.''
-William Cobbett, Cottage Economy (1826)

'As William Cobbett observed in 1826, home brewing had, by then, already gone into serious decline. In 1880, those home brewers that were left were dealt a serious blow when the inland revenue act decreed that they must buy a licence if they wished to continue their hobby. It was not until 1963 that the restrictions on making your own beer were removed, and there was some hope that the craft would be revived.'

Gt Yarmouth Pubs – once a family run monopoly.

The Lacons sign is still evident today on alot of pubs in Gt Yarmouth.

During the 1850s the Lacons Brewery held fifty public houses and controlled over 300 pubs in Great Yarmouth. In 1814, Lacons supplied over 20,000 pints of beer to a festival dinner held in the town to celebrate the final defeat of Napoleon's France.
