About the event
Take a journey through drunken Victorian Britain told through maps made to convince law makers to turn off the flow of alcohol. Kris Butler has searched the UK for “drink maps” which were scattered far and wide, and in the process of finding them, she has collected many gripping tales and hilarious stories.
The book Drink Maps in Victorian Britain is available to buy for the Bodleian Shop.
