EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Old Tavern, Limehouse, 1929" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London nearly a century ago. The image is part of the renowned series called "Old London" comprised of 25 cigarette cards produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills in 1929. The scene captures an enchanting blend of transport and architecture as we witness a rowing boat gently gliding along the riverbank, while an old tavern stands proudly on its edge. The building's facade tells stories of history and character, with its worn-out appearance and disrepair adding to its charm. In this snapshot from the past, men can be seen working diligently outside the pub, engaged in repairs or perhaps enjoying a momentary break from their laborious tasks. One man sits near a window, gazing out at passersby with curiosity or contemplation. The photo provides us with glimpses into daily life during that era - people going about their business amidst the backdrop of Tower Hamlets' historic landscape. It serves as a reminder that even though times change and cities evolve, certain landmarks remain timeless symbols of heritage and community. As we admire this beautifully colored print capturing early 20th-century London, it transports us to another world - one where simplicity intertwines with hard work and where riverside pubs like "The Grapes" hold stories waiting to be discovered by those who dare to venture inside their doors.
