With all the star-spangled glitzy pubs that are springing up around us while most of the cosy, fireside and darts pubs close down and disappear into obscurity, let us think of a time when young and old sat down together over a pint of Welsh Ale and discussed the real issues of the day, and bring in live music and folky airs to entertain the clientelle.

"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe.
