EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless charm of The Angel Inn, nestled in the picturesque village of Highgate, London. With its strategic location only five miles away from Westminster and the City of London, this historic inn served as a convenient stopover for weary travelers since the 17th century. The image showcases one of two albumen prints taken around 1874, offering a glimpse into Victorian England's architectural splendor. The Angel Inn stands proudly amidst its surroundings, exuding an air of elegance and grandeur that has withstood the test of time. Highgate Village was renowned for its hospitality during this era, boasting a total of five inns by 1552 and an impressive count of 21 by 1841. However, it is The Angel that truly steals the spotlight with its rich history and numerous transformations over centuries. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Historic England's archive collection, we are transported back to an era where bustling pubs like The Angel were not just places to rest but also vibrant social hubs. This snapshot allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and cultural significance that such establishments held within their walls.
