EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming early 20th century photograph captures the quintessential English scene of The Black Boy pub in Dunsden, Oxfordshire. Nestled within the picturesque village, this historic public house, now known as Black Boy Cottage, stands proudly with its distinctive black-painted sign and ivy-covered walls. At the turn of the century, The Black Boy served not only as a popular local watering hole but also as the village post office. The combination of a pub and post office was a common arrangement during this period, providing essential services to the community under one roof. The Black Boy was part of the Symonds Brewery, a well-known and respected name in the Oxfordshire brewing industry. The pub's name, "The Black Boy," is believed to have originated from the 17th century, when the landlord was a local huntsman, and the black boy was a term used to describe a young page or servant who carried the huntsman's weapons. The image shows a group of villagers gathered outside the pub, likely waiting for their mail or engaging in conversation. The rustic charm of the scene is further emphasized by the horse-drawn carts and carriages parked nearby, adding to the sense of history and tradition. Today, Black Boy Cottage remains an integral part of Dunsden's rich history, continuing to serve the community as a beloved local pub and a reminder of a bygone era. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when daily life was more simple, and the local pub was the heart of the village.
