EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the exterior of the Parrs Head pub located in the heart of Camden Town, London. The image captures the corner view of this historic public house, with its distinctive red brick facade and ornate signage. The Parrs Head, which can be found at 106 Camden High Street, NW1 0LB, has a rich history that dates back to at least 1929, as evidenced by the trading record featured on the reverse of this print. The pub, which was not owned by the Charrington and Company Limited during this time, was a beloved local watering hole for generations of Camden residents. The 1930s were a pivotal decade for the Parrs Head, as the photograph attests. The era is characterized by the elegant Art Deco design of the signage and the pristine condition of the building. Unfortunately, the Parrs Head, like many historic pubs in London, was not immune to the forces of development and gentrification. In 2012, a planning application was approved to convert the pub into residential flats, and by 2013, the transformation was complete. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the Parrs Head's former life as a bustling and integral part of the Camden community. The Parrs Head's history is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of urban life in London, and this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era. Whether you're a local resident or a history enthusiast, this image is sure to spark your curiosity and transport you back in time.
