EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the historic Alexandra pub, located in South Hackney, London. Established in 1938, this public house, also known as a boozer or bar, has a rich history that can be traced back to the 1950s. The Alexandra was once a part of the Charrington and Company Limited's extensive portfolio of pubs. The image transports us back in time to the 1950s, a decade marked by post-war optimism and social change. The pub, with its distinctive signage and red brick facade, stands as a testament to the past, offering a glimpse into the social fabric of the community it once served. The back of the print reveals valuable information about the pub's history. According to the records, the Alexandra in South Hackney, London E9 7JN, was trading as early as 1938. By 1951, it had become a part of the Charrington and Company Limited's extensive network of pubs. Over the years, the pub underwent various changes, with the most recent one being its renaming to The Lauriston as of July 2018. This photograph, taken by The National Brewery Heritage Trust, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of pubs like the Alexandra in South Hackney. It invites us to reflect on the past and the role these institutions played in shaping the social landscape of London and beyond.
