EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as the iconic Dick Turpins Inn, also known as The Kings Arms Inn at Eltham, prepares for demolition. Closed down due to the widening of the London to Folkestone main road, this historic inn holds tales of notorious highwaymen and is believed to be 700 years old. In this image taken on 2nd December 1922 by photographer Alfieri, we see a lone workman seated at the bar, savouring what appears to be his last drink of beer. His weathered face tells stories of countless patrons who have passed through these doors over centuries. The worn-out wooden interior and rustic hooks hanging from the walls add an ancient charm to this once bustling pub. The photograph's monochrome composition adds a timeless quality that transports us back to the roaring twenties. It serves as a reminder of how progress can sometimes erase pieces of our heritage. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but feel a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Alfieri's skillful capture immortalizes not just a building but also its rich history and cultural significance. This photograph stands as a testament to the importance of preserving our past even amidst inevitable changes brought about by modernization.
