EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere in 1889 for W.J. Farthing, transports us back in time to the bustling Kilburn High Road in London, specifically to the historic Red Lion pub. Established in 1444, the Red Lion is one of the oldest public houses in the area and is still proudly standing on the same site today. The image captures the essence of recreation and leisure in the late 19th century, as people of all ages and backgrounds gather in front of the pub, posing for the camera. The Red Lion was more than just a place to quench one's thirst; it was a community hub where friends and neighbors could come together to socialize, share stories, and create memories. The sign above the door, adorned with the pub's name and the date of its establishment, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The Red Lion's warm and inviting atmosphere is evident in the smiles and laughter of the people in the photograph, who seem to be enjoying each other's company on a sunny day. Bedford Lemere's expert photography skills bring the scene to life, capturing the details of the pub's facade and the vibrant colors of the people's clothing. The image offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the enduring appeal of the Red Lion and the role it played in the lives of the people of Kilburn over the centuries.
