What a Night at a Coaching Inn Was REALLY Like (1790) | Boring History for Sleep

One night, dusk to departure, at a great coaching inn on the Bath Road in 1790 — the yard and its ostlers, the coaches and their timetable, the kitchen and the ordinary, the taproom and the parlour, the shared beds upstairs, the landlady's books, the night workers, the mail coach passing through at midnight, and the morning road onward. A slow, true history episode made for sleep: no sudden noises, no cliffhangers, nothing to remember. Narrated by Robert.
