Boarded up pubs have become a familiar sight these past few years. Up and down the country once busy watering holes have been drying up at a considerable rate and, since there is an argument to be made that the smoking ban of 2007 has indeed accelerated the decline of public houses what more appropriate way is there to document this than by imitating the cigarette cards once given free inside cigarette packets and which were often to be found framed and displayed on the walls of those self-same pubs.
