EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the Coach & Horses pub, located in the heart of Barbican, London. The image presents a face-on view of the historic public house, with its red brick facade and ornate, wrought-iron signage. The Coach & Horses, a cherished local institution, has been a fixture in the Barbican community for many years, serving as a gathering place for friends, neighbors, and visitors alike. The pub's rich history is reflected in the details of the photograph. The Coach & Horses was originally established in the late 17th century, making it one of the oldest pubs in the area. Over the centuries, it has weathered the test of time, surviving through various transformations and challenges. Unfortunately, the pub's history was marred by a tragic event in its past. As the back of the print reveals, the Coach & Horses was destroyed by enemy action on December 27, 1940. The image captures the essence of the pub as it once was, before the devastating bombing raid that brought an abrupt end to its operations during World War II. Despite this setback, the Coach & Horses was rebuilt and eventually reopened, continuing to serve as a beloved part of the Barbican community. Today, it stands as a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of London's historic pubs.
