PUBS OF ST IVES | |
|
An exhibition on ‘The Pubs of St Ives’ runs from 1 December 2008 to 31 January 2009 at the Norris Museum on The Broadway, St Ives. In October the Friends of the Norris Museum published the third edition of a fascinating book ‘The Pubs of St Ives’ by museum curator Bob Burn-Murdoch. The exhibition and the book give details of the former locations of over 120 pubs in the town. The book provides interesting historical accounts of them and has been revised to add more historical information about the pubs and update details of present day occupation.

The highest number of pubs that ever existed in St Ives at any particular time is uncertain, but the author’s researches conclude that from the 1830’s to the 1870’s there were between 60 and 70, around four times the present day 17. The book is £3.95 and is available at the Norris Museum and Walkers bookshop in St Ives.
