Files on Air is a podcast series in which contributors from AA Files read their work. In this episode, Rebecca Crabtree – an architect, lecturer and PhD candidate at the RCA – reads her essay, ‘Closing Time’, found in AA Files 80. The essay reveals the multifaceted significance of coaching inns as both domestic and commercial spaces in 18th- and 19th-century England, a time of rapid industrialisation.
