Anthony Poulton-Smith - "Pub Names"
Anthony is a freelance journalist and author, having had 65 books and many articles, innumerable crosswords and puzzles published, whilst also compiling and marketing quizzes.

The talks not only cover the origins of towns and villages but also hills, streams, districts, fields, streets, and even public houses.
