EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Westcourt Inn, a cherished public house located in the historic town of Gravesend, Kent, during the 1950s. The image presents a left-facing view of the pub's exterior, showcasing its distinctive red brick facade, ornate woodwork, and the iconic "Westcourt Inn" sign hanging above the entrance. At the time, this pub was owned and operated by the Charrington and Company Limited, a prominent name in the British brewing industry. The Westcourt Inn, with its inviting atmosphere and friendly local patrons, was a beloved gathering place for the community. The pub's walls bore testament to the passage of time, adorned with various signs, advertisements, and the occasional faded flower basket. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, when community life revolved around local pubs, and the simple pleasure of a pint and a chat with friends was a cherished pastime. Regrettably, by July 2018, the Westcourt Inn had closed its doors. The building was later converted into a Muslim centre, marking a new chapter in its history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, preserving the memory of a cherished local institution that once brought people together in Gravesend, Kent.
