{"product_id":"a-pub-on-each-corner-jonathan-burchill-9781914066139","title":"A Pub on Each Corner","description":"From 1904 to 2020, Griffin Park was the iconic, idiosyncratic, and much-loved home of Brentford FC.   For 116 years, and deriving its name from the symbol of a brewery that owned the orchard before the stadium, Griffin Park witnessed highs and lows and much in-between, hosting over 2,800 football matches and numerous other occasions. One of a kind, it was the only English football stadium that had a pub on each corner.   In this fascinating book, lifelong Bees fan Jonathan Burchill draws from contemporaneous resources to present a unique history of Brentford through season-by-season reviews of the events at Griffin Park. Recounting stories and statistics from both on and off the pitch – from fires to floodlights, from abandoned redevelopment plans to multiple missed penalties – Jonathan weaves an extended, fascinating insight not just into this remarkable West London football club but into the social history affecting those connected with it for over a century.   As the Bees settle into their new home at Brentford Community Stadium in the Premier League, A Pub On Each Corner provides a comprehensive and insightful account into their time at Griffin Park, and is a must-read for any Brentford fan, old or new!","brand":"Hawksmoor Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50415852126496,"sku":"9781914066139","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781914066139.jpg?v=1781017183","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-pub-on-each-corner-jonathan-burchill-9781914066139","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
