EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Volunteer pub, located in Barking, Essex (IG11 0EY), a once-beloved local watering hole that has since been demolished for road widening. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, presents a nostalgic view of the pub's exterior, with its ornate brickwork, decorative signage, and inviting entrance. The Volunteer was a public house that held a rich history, having been in operation since at least 1935, as evidenced by the trading record detailed on the reverse side of the print (available upon request). The pub was a staple of the community, serving generations of locals and playing a vital role in the social fabric of Barking. The Volunteer was not affiliated with the Charrington and Company Limited, despite the common misconception. Instead, it stood as an independent establishment, a testament to the resilience and independence of the local pub scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a moment frozen in time before the pub's eventual demolition. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the history of local establishments and the memories they hold for communities.
