EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Crooked Billet Public House, nestled in the picturesque Barking Creek in Essex, England. The image, taken in the 1930s, showcases the charming facade of the pub with its distinctive crooked design, inviting red door, and quaint windows adorned with ivy. The Crooked Billet, a beloved local establishment, was once a popular watering hole for the community, serving up cold pints and hearty meals. As you gaze at the photograph, you can almost hear the gentle lapping of the water against the creek, and the lively chatter of patrons enjoying a pint on a sunny afternoon. The Crooked Billet was a cherished part of the Barking Creek landscape for many decades, with its history dating back to at least 1929, as evidenced by the trading record detailed on the reverse of this print. Sadly, as of July 2018, the Crooked Billet had closed its doors, and the building now operates as a restaurant under the name River. Though the use of the building has changed, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pub's rich history and the memories it holds for generations of locals. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a beautiful representation of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring charm of traditional English pubs. With its intriguing history and timeless appeal, it's a must-have for anyone with an interest in British history, architecture, or social history.
