EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Builders Arms pub in Kensington, London, as it looked in the 1950s. The image, taken in 1959, captures the corner view of this historic public house, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate signage. The Builders Arms, located at 21-23 Kensington Church Street, W8 5BJ, has a rich history that dates back to at least 1938, as evidenced by the trading record detailed on the reverse of this print. This photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of London's pub culture. The 1950s were a time of post-war optimism and social change, and the Builders Arms, like many other pubs, was a hub of community life. The pub was owned by Hoare & Company Limited during this period, and the Castle (Mitchells & Butlers) date of 1959 suggests that this photograph was taken during a time of transition for the pub. The image invites us to imagine the lively conversations and camaraderie that once filled the Builders Arms. With its warm, inviting atmosphere and rich history, this photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British pub and the role it plays in the social fabric of our communities.
