EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the exterior of the Wheatsheaf Public House located in Gravesend, Kent, England. The image captures the corner view of this historic building, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate signage. The pub, which has been a staple in the community for many decades, is adorned with the iconic "Wheatsheaf and Stars" insignia, a symbol of the Charrington and Company Limited, a prominent brewery in the region during the time. The Wheatsheaf, which holds a rich history, is believed to have been in operation since at least the 1920s, as evidenced by the trading records from 1924 and 1961 that accompany this print. The pub, still in business as of July 2018, continues to serve as a gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The exact ownership of the pub is unknown, but its enduring presence in Gravesend's landscape is a testament to its significance in the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of public houses in England during the 1930s. The image invites us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded within its walls, making it a cherished piece for anyone with an interest in local history, English pub culture, or the evolution of architecture in Gravesend and Kent.
