EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Railway Tavern in New Cross, London, during its temporary tenure in the 1940s. The image, taken in 1941, shows the pub's distinctive red brick exterior with large, arched windows and the iconic "Railway Tavern" sign, which hangs proudly above the entrance. The Railway Tavern, located at SE14 5UQ, was a temporary establishment, having been opened by the Charrington and Company Limited in response to the wartime shortages and damage to permanent pubs in the area. The pub, which was demolished as of July 2018, was a vital source of community and respite for the locals during the challenging times of the 1940s. The photograph, taken in the 1940s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of rationing, war, and camaraderie. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of London's pub culture, even in the most trying of circumstances. The back of the print provides additional details about the pub's history, including its temporary status and the date of its opening. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of historical documentation but also a reminder of the important role that pubs play in the lives of communities, providing a place for connection, relaxation, and shared experiences.
