EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the historic Rose & Crown Public House located in the heart of St. Lukes, London, in the 1910s. The image, taken in 1919, showcases the pub's distinctive red and white signage, adorned with the iconic rose and crown emblem. At the time, the Rose & Crown was under the management of the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known brewery in London. The reverse side of this print reveals intriguing details about the pub's history. According to the trading record, the Rose & Crown at St. Lukes, London EC1Y 8JP, was in operation as early as 1913. However, the pub's fortunes took a turn during World War II. In 1940, it was forced to close following damage incurred during an air raid. Tragically, the pub was destroyed by a second bomb in 1942, bringing an end to its long-standing history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to London's rich history and the stories of the people and places that once thrived there. Whether you're a local historian, a London enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the charm of old pubs, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you back in time.
