EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Volunteer pub in Brixton, London, a beloved local watering hole with a rich history. The image, taken from an angle that showcases the corner of the building, reveals its classic red brick facade adorned with ornate white detailing and the distinctive Volunteer sign hanging above the entrance. Established in 1934, the Volunteer pub has been a staple in the Brixton community for over eight decades. The back of the print, available upon request, reveals the pub's trading record, detailing its history through the years, including its last entry in 1961. Sadly, as of July 2018, the Volunteer pub, located at SW9 7QR, had been demolished. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the pub's storied past and the memories it holds for generations of patrons. The Volunteer, affectionately known as a 'public house,' 'boozer,' or simply 'pub,' was more than just a place to enjoy a pint; it was a gathering spot for friends, a refuge from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and a symbol of the unique character and history of Brixton. The Hoare & Company Limited, which did not own the pub, played a role in the pub's story, but the exact nature of their involvement is not detailed in the photograph or the trading record. Nonetheless, this image stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the Volunteer pub and the sense of community it fostered in Brixton.
