EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Oliver Arms pub in Paddington, London, as it looked in the 1920s. The image, taken in 1928, showcases the charming facade of the public house with its distinctive sign and ornate brickwork. At the time, the Oliver Arms was under the management of the Charrington and Company Limited, a prominent brewery in London. The back of the print reveals intriguing details about the pub's history. The Oliver Arms had been in operation since at least 1922 and continued to serve its community until 1958. Sadly, the pub ceased trading just a year later and was eventually demolished. Today, the site is home to a Persian restaurant, offering a stark contrast to the bustling pub scene of yesteryears. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of public houses in London during the 1920s. It invites us to imagine the lively conversations, laughter, and camaraderie that once filled the Oliver Arms. With its authentic charm and historical significance, this image is a must-have for anyone interested in London's social history or the evolution of its pub culture.
