Drink Map

Some odd things land on my desk. This is today's offering. I wonder whether they all served mild?

DRINK MAP OF STOCKPORT. - The Gospel Temperance Union have published a "Drink map of Stockport", "giving a bird's eye view of the chief cause of the misery, poverty, and crime in the town." It is "dedicated to the thoughtful attention of all who wish the welfare of the borough, and especially of the licensing bench of magistrates." Each red spot on the map indicates a drink-shop, of which sort of plague-spot there are 302 specimens. Alliance News - Saturday 16 February 1884.
