EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Green Man Hotel and tavern in Blackheath, a village located just outside London in the late 19th century. Serving as an important staging post on the London-to-Dover route, this architectural gem was rebuilt in the 1860s but unfortunately met its demise in the 1870s. The image showcases the exterior of this charming coaching inn, providing a glimpse into a bygone era. The monochrome tones add to its vintage appeal, transporting us back to Victorian England. The photographer's identity remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this snapshot. Published in Edward Walford's renowned book "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" this photograph is part of a larger collection that documents various locations across the city. It serves as both a visual record and historical reference for researchers and enthusiasts alike. Although no longer standing today, The Green Man holds great significance as it once played host to weary travelers seeking respite during their journey. This print allows us to appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also its role within society at that time. As we gaze upon this image from Heritage Images' extensive archive, we are reminded of how our built environment evolves over time while preserving fragments of history for future generations to explore and cherish.
