EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Lion PH, a beloved public house located in Stratford, London, during the 1920s. The image presents the corner view of the pub, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate signage bearing the image of a proud lion. The Lion PH was a long-standing establishment, with a trading record dating back to 1927, as indicated on the back of the print. Over the years, it became a cherished gathering place for the local community, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the bustling scene outside the pub on a busy London street. The era of the 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was marked by cultural shifts and economic prosperity. The Lion PH, with its traditional charm, would have provided a welcome respite from the excitement of the times. Unfortunately, the Lion PH met its end in July 2018, as the site was demolished to make way for the Stratford shopping centre. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history and character that once defined this corner of Stratford. The back of the print also reveals the address of the pub, E15 1BG, adding to its authenticity and appeal. This photograph, taken in 1927, is a testament to the rich history of public houses in London and the role they played in shaping the social fabric of communities. The Lion PH may no longer exist, but its memory lives on through images like this one, allowing us to appreciate the past and the stories it holds.
