Thanks for the information about "The Goth." Alasdair Anderson's
book, "The Dean Tavern: A Gothenburg Experiment" (Newtongrange: Dean
Tavern Trust, 1986), contains a quite detailed history of another
Scottish Gothenburg pub, the Dean Tavern in Newtongrange. My
forthcoming book, Pubs and Progressives: Reinventing the Public House
in England, 1896-1960, devotes a chapter to the Gothenburg movement in
England. There were two national organizations promoting the
experimental approach to running pubs: the People's Refreshment House
Association, founded in 1896, and the Central Public House Trust
Association, established in 1901.

survivors in
Scotland
I've recently come across some remarkable Gothenburg Scheme surviving
institutes in Scotland which have a good website. The Prestoungrange
Gothenburg ( locally called "The Goth") dates from 1908. It was built
in a former coal mining area of Scotland, East Lothian, not far from
Edinburgh.
The Goth has links with Goteborg, Sweden, where the Gothenburg
Scheme
began. You can read about this on the website and in a pdf history
downloadable from the site. There are "Goths" also at Newtongrange and
Armadale. The web address is
