I make that 933:1? Portsmouth (Navy/dockyard town) had 115:1 in the 1860s. (822 pubs and beerhouses against a population of 95k). There was a row of five pubs right outside the dockyard gate.
replyI see Leopoldsburg had a large military camp nearby. Same story?
You're off by a factor of 10: 14k/150 is ~93 residents per pub.
replyIm surprised Newcastle upon Tyne isn't higher on this map. I guess its Density of housing near the center dilutes the ratio
replyyup. soldiers in dire need of a drink
replyDataset does seem sketchy. My village has two pubs, neither appear. Two non-pub licensed locations (social club, stately home) do appear. The dot for the pub in the next village is off by about 100m.
