EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the timeless charm of The Kings Head, a historic pub located in Chigwell, Essex. Dating back to the 17th century and listed as a Grade II building, this architectural gem has witnessed centuries of British history unfold within its walls. Rumored to have been a meeting place for Roundheads during the English civil war, it holds an air of mystery and intrigue. In 1936, when this photograph was taken by an unknown creator for "Old Inns - A Series of 40", The Kings Head still retained its old-world allure. Its exterior facade exudes character with its aged brickwork and traditional design. As we gaze upon the image, we can imagine the bustling atmosphere along Chigwell High Road during that era. Notably, The Kings Head had also welcomed esteemed guests like Sir Winston Churchill himself. This fact adds another layer of significance to this charming establishment's rich history. The print showcases a snapshot from a bygone era: children playing on the avenue outside while men and women stroll leisurely down the lane. It beautifully captures both the architectural beauty of The Kings Head and everyday life in England during the 1930s. Preserved through time, this image allows us to appreciate not only The Kings Head's historical importance but also serves as a reminder of how our surroundings evolve over centuries while some places remain steadfast in their heritage.
