EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of the Golden Lion Public House, located in the heart of London's Minories area. The image captures the facade of the pub in its glory days, with ornate brickwork and intricate detailing that speak to a bygone era. The Golden Lion was a beloved local institution, having served the community since at least the early 1910s. The back of this print reveals the pub's rich history, detailing its trading record from 1913 to 1940. Unfortunately, the Golden Lion did not survive the test of time, and the building was closed and demolished in 1919. This photograph offers a precious glimpse into London's past, providing a tangible connection to a time when the pub was a hub of social activity and community spirit. The Golden Lion was once part of the Charrington and Company Limited estate, a prominent brewing company in London during the early 20th century. While the company's name is not mentioned in the photograph, its influence on the pub industry in London during this period is undeniable. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the pubs that once dotted the city's streets, each with its unique character and history. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of London history or pub memorabilia, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to the city's rich cultural heritage.
