"It has taken 45 years to perfect and includes over 220 pubs and consists of 420 pages," said Clive, who will be publishing the book, called Inns And Alehouses, on October 12.

"On this date I will be signing the books in the Shakespeare pub, Bridgnorth, by kind permission of Joules Brewery between 10am and 2pm and will be displaying original documents from when Hitler wanted to take over Apley Hall.

"Other documents, maps and booklets will also be on display, including a rare 1835 map of the town."

Clive has published about 30 books looking at various aspects of Bridgnorth and its history.
