EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Castle pub in Grays, Essex, during the 1930s. The image, taken in the heart of the thirties, showcases the public house in all its glory, with its distinctive red-brick exterior and ornate signage. The Castle, located at RM17 6NZ, was a popular local watering hole for the community of Grays, Essex, during this era. The back of the print reveals intriguing details about the pub's history. According to the record, the Castle opened for business in 1928, and by 1930, it had already become a well-established local institution. However, sadly, the Castle was demolished in the same year, leaving behind only memories and this photograph as reminders of its existence. The Castle was not associated with Seabrooke and Sons, Limited, as some may believe. Instead, it stood alone as a symbol of community and camaraderie for the residents of Grays. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Castle pub was a vibrant and integral part of the local scene. The Castle's story is a poignant reminder of the passing of time and the ever-changing landscape of our towns and cities. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the rich history of public houses and their role in shaping the social fabric of communities throughout the decades.
