EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Portland Arms pub, a cherished local institution nestled in the heart of Lambeth, London. The image presents the corner view of the pub, its red brick facade adorned with ornate details and the iconic "Portland Arms" sign, a beacon of warmth and community for over eighty years. The Portland Arms, originally established in 1932, was a beloved watering hole for generations of locals. The back of the print reveals the pub's rich history, detailing its trading record from 1932 to 1961. This snapshot in time offers a glimpse into the past, when the Portland Arms was a thriving hub of social activity. As of July 2018, the Portland Arms stood proudly at its original location, SW8 1JL, a testament to the enduring charm of this historic pub. However, the future of the Portland Arms was uncertain, as planning permission had been granted in 2000 to demolish the building and replace it with 14 flats. The impending demolition sparked a wave of nostalgia and concern among the community, who feared the loss of yet another piece of Lambeth's rich history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Portland Arms' past, a symbol of the memories and connections it has fostered over the decades. Whether you're a local or a history enthusiast, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the Portland Arms was more than just a pub – it was a home away from home.
