This print captures the timeless charm of The Barge Pole, a historic public house located in Abbey Wood, Bexley, Greater London. Stepping into this pub is like stepping back in time, as the interior exudes an old-world atmosphere that instantly transports visitors to a bygone era. The focal point of this image is the games area known as The Wheelhouse, situated near the north entrance. Here, patrons can indulge in friendly competition and leisurely entertainment. A beautifully crafted pool table takes center stage, inviting guests to test their skills and enjoy some lighthearted fun. Adjacent to it stands a dartboard eagerly awaiting players who seek precision and accuracy. The ambiance of The Barge Pole is further enhanced by its exquisite wooden panelling that adorns the walls with rich hues and intricate details. Brass accents add a touch of elegance while portholes provide glimpses into another world beyond these cozy confines. Numerous clocks adorn the space, reminding patrons to savor each moment spent within these hallowed walls. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported into a realm where time seems irrelevant; where laughter echoes through every corner; where camaraderie thrives amidst spirited games and lively conversations. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of traditional public houses - places where locals gather for relaxation and revelry. Derek Kendall's masterful composition perfectly encapsulates the essence of The Barge Pole - an iconic establishment steeped in history yet brimming.
