EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the Rising Sun Public House in Gravesend, Kent, as the sun rises over its historic facade. Established in the early 20th century, the pub, which is located at DA11 7BW, has a rich history that dates back to the 1920s, as evidenced by the trading record detailed on the reverse of this print. The Rising Sun, which is not to be confused with the Charrington and Company Limited that once owned it, has weathered the test of time and has been rebuilt after being damaged by enemy action in the 1930s. The 30s, a decade marked by economic hardship and global conflict, left their mark on this pub, but it continued to stand as a beacon of community and hospitality for the people of Gravesend. The pub's red brick exterior, adorned with intricate stonework and ornate detailing, is a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The large, arched windows frame the sun's rays as they peek over the roof, casting a warm, inviting glow on the building. The pub sign, featuring the image of the sun, adds to the sense of renewal and rebirth, making it a fitting symbol for this resilient establishment. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the rich history and character that can be found in the oldest pubs of Gravesend, Kent.
