EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Railway Tavern in West Ham, London, taken in the 1950s. The image showcases the main facade of the pub, adorned with its distinctive sign and ornate brickwork. The Corner of Barking Road and Barking Station Road is where this historic public house once stood, a beloved local watering hole for residents of Plaistow and West Ham. The Railway Tavern, a part of the Charrington and Company Limited's establishment, was a popular gathering place for the community. The back of the print reveals the trading record for the pub, detailing its operation in 1938 and 1961. This photograph, taken in 1958, captures the essence of the 1950s, a time of post-war optimism and social connection. The Railway Tavern, with its inviting atmosphere and rich history, served as a beacon for locals, offering a place to unwind, socialize, and connect with one another. The pub's significance in the community is evident in the image, as people are seen gathered outside, likely enjoying a pint or a chat with friends. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of traditional British pubs and the role they play in shaping the fabric of local communities. The Railway Tavern, though no longer in existence, continues to live on through memories and images like this one, inviting us to appreciate the history and heritage of our neighborhoods.
