EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the historic Ball Inn, located in the heart of Chard, Somerset (TA20 9PH). The image presents a glimpse into the past, as the pub, once a beloved local watering hole, stood proudly before its unfortunate demolition in 1963. The Ball Inn, a public house with a rich history, was a cherished establishment in the community of Chard. Its name, while not associated with any specific brewing company, has left an indelible mark on the town's history. The pub was owned and operated by various publicans over the years, contributing to the vibrant social scene and local economy. The photograph, taken by an unknown artist for The National Brewery Heritage Trust, beautifully preserves the architectural details of the Ball Inn. The red brick exterior, adorned with ornate stonework and intricate woodwork, speaks to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into its construction. The large, inviting windows, framed by wooden shutters, beckon visitors to step inside and enjoy a pint or a hearty meal. Sadly, the Ball Inn no longer stands. Demolished in 1963, it made way for a Woolworths store. However, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pub's existence and the role it played in the lives of the people of Chard. The back of the print includes the publican ID for the Ball Inn, adding an intriguing layer of history to this image.
