EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the Ship Hotel, located in the bustling Tilbury Docks area of Essex, England, during the 1930s. The image, taken in 1939, showcases the pub's distinctive red-brick facade, adorned with ornate detailing and large, arched windows. The Ship Hotel, a beloved local establishment, had a rich history that spanned several decades. According to the information on the reverse of the print, the pub's trading record dates back to 1929. The Ship Hotel was a popular gathering place for the local community, with its welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. The pub's proximity to the docks made it a natural hub for sailors, dockworkers, and merchants, who would frequent the establishment after long days of work or before embarking on voyages. The pub's name, "Ship Hotel," was a fitting tribute to its maritime location and clientele. Sadly, by July 2018, the Ship Hotel had closed its doors, and the premises had been repurposed for mixed retail use. Despite its transformation, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pub's storied past and the role it played in the lives of the people of Tilbury Docks. The 1930s were a pivotal time in the history of this pub, and this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, filled with character and charm.
