EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of the Canterbury Arms pub in Islington, London, dating back to the 1920s. The image captures the charming facade of the public house, with its ornate brickwork and distinctive signage, which once stood proudly at 43-45 Essex Road, Islington, London N1 4AL. The Canterbury Arms, a beloved local watering hole, was a long-standing establishment, with a trading record that dates back to 1913. The pub was a popular gathering place for the community, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere for locals to socialize and unwind. However, the history of the Canterbury Arms was not without its challenges. The pub was forced to close its doors in 1921, a tragic loss for the community. Despite its rich history and the memories it held for generations of locals, the building was eventually demolished. This photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the Canterbury Arms was a vibrant and integral part of the Islington community. The intricate details of the brickwork, the worn signage, and the sense of history that emanates from the image, all contribute to a powerful sense of nostalgia and longing for a time that can never be recaptured. The back of the print includes valuable historical information, detailing the trading record of the Canterbury Arms from 1913 to 1940. This fascinating insight into the pub's past adds an extra layer of depth and intrigue to this photograph.
