EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Blacksmiths Arms pub in Croydon, Surrey, as it stood before its demolition in July 2018. The image on the print's main side showcases the pub's facade, with its ornate brickwork, intricate woodwork, and the distinctive "Blacksmiths Arms" sign hanging above the entrance. The pub, a beloved local institution, was a popular gathering place for residents of Croydon and beyond. The back of the print reveals the address of the pub, "Blacksmiths Arms, Croydon (Old), Surrey, CR0 1DP," and notes that the building, though cherished by many, was no longer standing by the summer of 2018. In its place, a new pub was constructed on the same site. The Blacksmiths Arms, a public house, bar, or simply "boozer," as it is colloquially known, was a significant part of Croydon's rich history. Its story is intertwined with the town's development and the lives of its people. Though the physical structure is no longer with us, the memories and stories it holds live on, making this photograph a poignant reminder of the past. This print, produced by The National Brewery Heritage Trust, offers a glimpse into Croydon's history and serves as a testament to the importance of preserving our architectural and cultural heritage. The Blacksmiths Arms may no longer exist in its original form, but its legacy endures through images like this one.
