Phil Wood, an enthusiastic local historian, is President of the Newbury District Field Club. For many years he has been uncovering all there is to know about the large number of pubs and breweries that once seemed to fill the town. Study of the existing pubs also gives him the opportunity for some enjoyable field work!
