Comment from trigpoint
Historic pubs do not really belong in OSM, we aim to map what exists today.
There is a project http://www.openhistoricalmap.org which is based on OSM where you can add historic item.

Comment from SK53
@trigpoint has drawn my attention to this. If the buildings still exist I would advocate mapping them as polygons, tagged building=pub (provided this was what they were built for). On a general basis I'd agree with trigpoint, but I see no harm in adding a limited amount of historical info providing it does not interfere with mapping of what's there currently. Once you reach that point then OHM may be more useful (although then you need to research the dates pubs were active). You may be interested in the old pub layers on Evesham Mapped (http://www.evesham-mapped.org.uk/map/?z=12&lon=-1.95361&lat=52.07253&bgl=OSM,1,16&l=closedpubs) and OSM-Nottingham (http://osm-nottingham.org.uk/?z=11&lon=-1.17732&lat=52.96221&bgl=OSM,1,18&l=closedpubs). Ultimately if mapping of this type of object becomes more widespread then we probably do need to use an alternative platform.
