EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo from 1940, we witness a man pouring ground ginger into his pint of beer at a riverside inn in Greenwich, Kent. This peculiar practice was commonly adopted by stevedores and dockers during cold weather to add warmth and spice to their drinks. While it may have been a common sight near the wharves, elsewhere it has become an uncommon relic of olden times. The image captures the essence of British pub culture during the early 1940s, with customers gathered around the bar enjoying their pints of bitter. The man in focus wears a worker's flat cap, representing the hardworking spirit prevalent during World War II. In the background, an air raid notice serves as a reminder of the turbulent times that engulfed Europe. This photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into history but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when riverside inns were bustling hubs filled with camaraderie and shared stories over pints of beer. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this vintage print is a testament to our enduring fascination with capturing everyday moments that reflect our cultural heritage.
