The Lion, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, 1936 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a bygone era at The Lion Hotel in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Taken in 1936 by an unknown creator, this image showcases the architectural beauty and rich history of this Grade I listed coaching inn. Dating back to the 16th century, The Lion Hotel holds great significance as it was here that Charles Darwin embarked on his voyage of discovery. This iconic building served as a starting point for one of history's most influential scientific minds. The photograph depicts a bustling scene with people going about their daily lives. In the background, we see an avenue lined with brick buildings and bicycles parked along the lane. Men and women can be seen strolling down the street or enjoying a moment outside the pub. The vintage charm is evident through every detail captured within this snapshot - from old-fashioned clothing styles to classic road transport. It transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and community thrived in these historic establishments. As we admire this piece from "Old Inns - A Series of 40", published in 1936 by W. D & H. O Wills, we are reminded of our connection to the past and how these timeless locations continue to shape our present-day heritage.
