EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Purple Emperor pub in Harlow, Essex, as it looked in the 1950s. The image on the main side of the print showcases the left facade of the pub, with its distinctive signage and brick exterior harking back to an era of classic British pub design. The pub, which was part of the Charrington and Company Limited estate, was in business as early as 1958, as evidenced by the trading record detailed on the reverse side of the print. The Purple Emperor, located at CM20 3EH, was one of many pubs operated by the Charrington and Company Limited during the post-war period. The company, which had a rich history in the brewing industry, took pride in providing quality establishments for the local community. The pub's name, the Purple Emperor, adds an air of mystery and intrigue, perhaps inspired by the rare and elusive Purple Emperor butterfly. This photograph, taken in 1958, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Purple Emperor was a beloved local watering hole. The exact identity of the current owner in 2018 remains unknown, but this image serves as a testament to the pub's enduring history and charm. Whether you're a local history enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the nostalgia of a bygone era, this photograph is a must-have addition to your collection.
