EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Angel Inn, nestled in the charming village of Highgate, London. With its strategic location just five miles away from Westminster and the City of London, this inn served as a convenient stopover for weary travelers and locals alike. The village boasted an impressive number of five inns by 1552, which had grown to an astounding 21 by 1841. The Angel Inn itself has witnessed numerous transformations throughout its existence since the 17th century. This particular albumen print captures a moment frozen in time from 1882, offering us a glimpse into Victorian England's architectural beauty. Its grand façade exudes elegance and character, reflecting the rich history that unfolded within its walls. As we admire this image from Historic England's archive collection, we are transported back to an era where pubs were not merely drinking establishments but thriving social hubs. The Angel Inn stands as a testament to this tradition—a place where friends gathered for lively conversations over pints of ale or families sought respite after long journeys. Let us appreciate this remarkable photograph for what it truly represents: a snapshot of English heritage preserved through time. It serves as a reminder that behind every building lies stories waiting to be discovered and cherished—an invitation to explore our past while celebrating our present.
