EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Crown & Anchor pub, located in the vibrant neighborhood of Bethnal Green, London. Established in the 1950s, this public house, also known as a "boozer" or "bar," was once a beloved local watering hole. The image, taken in the 1950s, showcases the pub's distinctive red brick exterior and its iconic nameplate, the Crown and Anchor, proudly displayed above the entrance. The back of this print reveals intriguing historical details about the Crown & Anchor. According to the trading record, the pub was in operation as early as 1939 and continued to serve its community until 1961. Sadly, the pub was demolished in 1952. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a time when the Crown & Anchor was a cherished gathering place for the residents of Bethnal Green. The Crown & Anchor was once part of the Charrington and Company Limited estate, a prominent brewery in London during the 19th and 20th centuries. Though the pub itself may no longer exist, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and community spirit that once thrived within its walls. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection showcasing the history of London's pubs or the evolution of Bethnal Green. Its vintage charm and historical significance make it a captivating conversation starter and a beautiful piece of decor for any home or office.
