EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Southwark, London in 1936. The focal point of the image is "The George Inn" a medieval public house that holds great historical significance. This Grade I listed building on Borough High Street was visited by none other than Charles Dickens himself, adding an air of literary charm to its already impressive architecture. The image showcases the inn's timber-framed exterior, adorned with charming balconies and window boxes bursting with flowers. A group of people can be seen strolling along the avenue, providing a glimpse into daily life during this era. In true British fashion, a pigeon perches gracefully on one of the balcony railings, seemingly unfazed by its surroundings. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that this photograph was part of a series called "Old Inns - A Series of 40" published in 1936 by W. D. & H. O. Wills. Each cigarette card from this collection offered glimpses into Britain's rich architectural heritage. This particular print captures not only the beauty and character of The George Inn but also transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets. It serves as a reminder that amidst progress and change, there are still remnants of our past worth preserving for future generations to appreciate and cherish.
