EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the Victory PH, a once-popular public house located in Gravesend, Kent. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the pub was a vibrant hub of social activity. The Victory PH, also known as the "Boomer," was a cherished establishment in the community, serving as a local watering hole and gathering place for residents of Gravesend and its surrounding areas. The nameplate on the wall proudly displays the "Victory" moniker, a testament to the pub's long and storied history. The photograph does not provide any information about the interior of the pub, but one can imagine the lively conversations and laughter that filled its rooms. The exterior, with its red brick facade and ornate architectural details, speaks to the care and attention given to the building during its prime. Sadly, the Victory PH is no longer in existence. As of July 2018, the pub had been closed for decades and was eventually demolished around 1973. The loss of this iconic building is a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of our towns and cities, and the importance of preserving the memories of the past. This photograph, now a cherished print, serves as a poignant reminder of the Victory PH and the role it played in the lives of the people of Gravesend and Kent. The image, while a snapshot of a bygone era, continues to resonate with viewers, evoking a sense of nostalgia and longing for a time when the pub was a central part of daily life.
