EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the facade of the Rising Sun Public House in the charming village of Kingsdown, Kent, dating back to the 1950s. The image, taken in the 1950s, showcases the pub's distinctive design and character, with its red brick exterior, ornate woodwork, and inviting signage. The Rising Sun, located at CT14 8AH, has a rich history, as evidenced by the trading record detailed on the reverse of this print. The record reveals that the pub was in operation as early as 1950 and was individually owned by Thompson and Son as of 1952. The 1950s were a significant decade for the Rising Sun, as it continued to serve the local community in this picturesque corner of Kent. The era was marked by post-war optimism and a renewed focus on traditional British values, making the pub an essential gathering place for friends and neighbors. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and community connections were forged over a pint at the local. The Rising Sun remains an enduring symbol of the warmth and hospitality that defines the British pub experience.
