EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the General Havelock Public House, located in the vibrant area of Hornsey, London, during the 1930s. The pub, with its distinctive red-brick facade and ornate signage, stands as a testament to the rich history of the local community. The name "General Havelock" is proudly displayed, a nod to the British Army officer, Sir Henry Havelock, who gained fame for his role in the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The photograph, taken in the late 1930s, provides a glimpse into a bygone era. The pub, which was once a beloved gathering place for locals, is now a thing of the past. As of July 2018, the General Havelock PH was demolished, and the entire area was redeveloped into modern flats. The back of the print includes a floor plan of the pub as it once stood, adding an intriguing layer of detail to this historical image. The General Havelock was once a part of the Wenlock Brewery Company Limited, a well-known brewery in London during the early 20th century. The company, which had a rich history of its own, produced a variety of popular beers and ales that were enjoyed in pubs across the city. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, a time when the General Havelock PH was a cherished local institution, and the Wenlock Brewery Company Limited was a thriving business. This photograph, with its rich historical context, is a must-have for anyone interested in London's history, pub culture, or the evolution of urban spaces. It offers a unique perspective on the past, inviting us to reflect on the changes that have taken place over the decades and the stories that have been lost along the way.
