EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the British Queen pub, located in the vibrant and historic district of Islington, London. The pub, which can be identified by its distinctive sign featuring a regal lion and the words "British Queen," has been a cherished local institution for many years. The main image showcases the pub's charming exterior, with its red brick walls, ornate windows, and ornamental details. The pub's nameplate and sign are proudly displayed, adding to its traditional and inviting character. However, the back of the print reveals a fascinating historical detail. The Trading Record, dated 1934 and 1944, provides a glimpse into the pub's rich past. During World War II, the British Queen pub was unfortunately damaged by enemy action and was forced to close on August 3, 1944. This poignant reminder of the pub's history adds depth and intrigue to the image, making it a fascinating piece of London's pub heritage. The British Queen pub, which is not to be confused with the Hoare and Company Limited, has been a beloved establishment in Islington for generations, and this photograph captures its timeless charm and history in a single frame.
