EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1942, capturing a slice of history in Reading, Berkshire. The image showcases the front elevations of two iconic establishments - the Lion Brewery and the Sun Inn. Standing proudly side by side on Castle Street, these buildings exude an air of charm and character that is synonymous with British pubs from this era. The Lion Brewery, sadly no longer standing today, was once a bustling hub for beer enthusiasts and locals alike. Its grand facade hints at its former glory as it looms over passersby with an imposing presence. On its left stands the Sun Inn, another historic gem that has stood the test of time. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch glimpses of people going about their daily lives outside these beloved establishments. Some are dressed smartly in uniforms while others sport casual attire typical of the 1940s fashion trends. Their presence adds life to this otherwise still scene. Felton's skillful photography transports us back to a different era where community spirit thrived within public houses like these. It serves as a poignant reminder of how architecture can hold memories and stories within its walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Historic England's collection, let us reflect on our shared heritage and appreciate those who have gone before us in shaping our towns and cities into what they are today.
