EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Railway Tavern in Bethnal Green, London, as it looked in the 1960s. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, presents a charming view of the pub's facade, adorned with ornate brickwork and decorative details. The name of the pub, "Railway Tavern," is prominently displayed above the entrance, with the "Bethnal Green" sign below. The pub, which was located at 217-219 Bethnal Green Road, E2 0LJ, was once a popular local watering hole and gathering place for the community. The Railway Tavern was owned and operated by the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known brewery in London at the time. The pub's closure, which occurred in 1961, was a significant loss for the area, leaving a gap in the social fabric of Bethnal Green. The building itself was eventually demolished, making way for new development. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when pubs like the Railway Tavern were the heart of their communities. The image invites us to imagine the lively conversations, laughter, and camaraderie that once filled this space. The pub's history adds to the rich tapestry of London's past, and this photograph offers a glimpse into a time when the Railway Tavern was an essential part of life in Bethnal Green.
