EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the Phoenix pub in Wapping, London. Located at E1W 1AP, this historic public house, also known as a boozer or bar, has been a beloved staple of the local community for many years. The image on the print's main side showcases the pub's left facade, with its distinctive sign and red brick exterior. But the Phoenix pub holds a deeper history that goes beyond its current appearance. The reverse side of the print reveals a poignant reminder of its past. "Demolished by enemy action 15 Sept 1940," it reads. This heartbreaking detail speaks to the resilience of the pub and the community it serves, having weathered the devastating effects of World War II. The Phoenix pub is not to be confused with the Hoare and Company Limited, Phoenix, which is a separate entity. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of public houses like the Phoenix, which have long been the heart and soul of communities in London and beyond. It's a reminder that even in the face of adversity, these establishments continue to thrive and provide a sense of belonging and camaraderie. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images available from Mary Evans Picture Library. It's a treasure trove of visual stories that offer a glimpse into the past and the rich history of our cities and towns. This particular image is a poignant reminder of the Phoenix pub's past and its enduring place in the history of Wapping, London.
