EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene at the George V public house in Slough, Buckinghamshire, during the 1940s. The main image shows a long queue of people patiently waiting their turn at the bar. The atmosphere is bustling and lively, with the warm glow of the interior spilling out onto the pavement. The George V was a popular local pub, operated by the Charrington and Company Limited, which served as a vital social hub for the community during this era. The back of the print reveals that this photograph was taken in 1942, and the George V pub, located at SL2 1BT, was demolished in 1997 to make way for a Lidl supermarket. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of people during the 1940s. The queue system at the bar is a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of the community, as they come together to enjoy a moment of relaxation and connection amidst the challenges of wartime Britain. This photograph is an invaluable historical record, preserving the memory of a cherished local institution and offering a poignant reminder of the past.
