EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of the General Simpson pub in Penge, London, as it looked in the 1950s. The image captures the facade of the pub in all its glory, with its distinctive signage and ornate brickwork. The General Simpson, located at SE20 8LH, was a beloved local institution in the Hoare and Company Limited's portfolio of public houses. Sadly, the pub, like many others from this era, did not survive the extensive redevelopment of the area that took place in the mid-1970s. By 1955, the pub was still a thriving hub of community life, with its warm and inviting atmosphere drawing in locals for a pint and a chat. The General Simpson was more than just a place to quench one's thirst; it was a place where friendships were forged and memories were made. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the pub was the heart of the community. It's a reminder of the important role that these establishments played in shaping the social fabric of our towns and cities. As we look at the image, we can almost hear the clinking of glasses and the lively banter of the patrons. The General Simpson may no longer exist, but its spirit lives on in the memories of those who frequented it and in the countless photographs that capture its essence.
