EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the historic St James Tavern, located in the heart of Aldgate, London. Established in the early 20th century, the pub was once a beloved watering hole for locals and visitors alike. The red brick facade, adorned with ornate details and the distinctive "St James Tavern" sign, exudes a sense of history and character. The St James Tavern was owned and operated by the Hoare and Company Limited, a name synonymous with London's pub scene. The back of the print reveals the pub's trading record, with entries for the years 1934 and 1961. These records offer a glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the pub's rich history and the lives of those who frequented it. Unfortunately, as of July 2018, the St James Tavern, like so many historic buildings in London, was no more. Demolished to make way for new development, the loss of this pub is a reminder of the ever-changing cityscape. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into a time when the St James Tavern was a thriving hub of community and tradition. This photograph is not only a record of a public house but also a testament to the history and character of Aldgate and London as a whole. It invites us to reflect on the past and consider the stories and memories that are etched into the bricks and mortar of this once-beloved pub.
