EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1960s, depicts three young girls standing on the doorstep of the Prospect of Whitby, London's oldest riverside inn, located in the historic Wapping area. The Prospect of Whitby, with its tall, detached sign and distinctive tall, white building, has been a popular watering hole since the 1500s. The girls, dressed in fashionable 1960s attire, appear to be enjoying a moment of respite from the bustling city, as they gaze out at the scenic view of the Thames River. The Prospect of Whitby, known for its rich history and traditional English pub fare, has long been a favorite among locals and tourists alike. The inn's signature dish, jellied eels, has been a staple since the 18th century, drawing in visitors from far and wide. Despite the girls' cheerful expressions, the wind seems to be blowing fiercely, as evidenced by the billowing sign above their heads. The rough, textured brick wall of the inn and the worn, wooden doorstep add to the rustic charm of the scene. The girls' laughter and the clinking of glasses can almost be heard, transporting us back in time to this quintessential moment in London's history. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Prospect of Whitby and the timeless tradition of gathering with friends and family at a local pub. It invites us to imagine a simpler time, when the pleasures of good food, good company, and a beautiful view were enough to bring joy and create memories that last a lifetime.
