#243 - The Decline of the Rural Pub and What It Means for Community Life | Dr Claire Markham & Mark Petrou

Mark Petrou is joined by Dr Claire Markham of Nottingham Trent University to discuss the social, cultural and economic role of rural pubs in Britain today. Together, they examine why the village pub remains such an important part of community life, why so many are struggling, and how nostalgia, commercial reality and changing habits are reshaping the future of these local institutions. It's a thoughtful conversation about belonging, survival and what happens when the places that hold communities together begin to disappear.
