Summary | |||||
Description | Public houses, hotels and other licenced premises around the naval base at Cromarty Firth were compulsorily purchased under the Liquor Control Regulations in the Defence of the Realm Act. The eighteen premises were run by the Cromarty District Management Board until they were privatised in the early 1970s. Similar State Management of pubs occurred at Gretna, Carlisle and Enfield Lock. It is interesting to contrast the Scottish experience of State Management of a small portfolio of premises with the enlightened approach achieved in Carlisle. | ||||
