EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the historic charm of the Old White Bear Inn, as depicted in this photograph from the late 1800s. Located in the heart of Piccadilly, London, this inn is believed to have a rich history that dates back to 1685. The White Bear, as it was commonly known, was a popular establishment that welcomed weary travelers and locals alike for over two centuries. This photograph, taken circa 1820, offers a glimpse into the inn's yard, revealing a bustling scene of activity. Horse-drawn carriages and wagons are parked haphazardly, while people go about their daily business, some stopping to chat with friends or conduct business deals. The Old White Bear Inn stands proudly in the background, its whitewashed walls and thatched roof a beacon of hospitality and rest. Sadly, this historic inn was demolished in 1870, making way for new developments. However, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Old White Bear Inn's storied past and the vibrant life that once thrived in Piccadilly. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a fascinating glimpse into London's rich history and the bygone era of horse-drawn carriages and coaching inns. It is a must-see for history buffs, photographers, and anyone interested in the history of London and its fascinating past.
