EDITORS COMMENTS
The George Inn Yard, Southwark, c. 1881 (b/w photo) captures the timeless charm of this historic establishment in vivid detail. Taken by renowned photographer Henry Dixon as part of a series documenting endangered buildings in Old London, this print showcases the architectural beauty and cultural significance of The George Inn. Dating back to 1676, The George Inn stands as London's only surviving galleried coaching inn. Its grand facade and distinctive galleries make it a true gem of Victorian architecture. This photograph transports us to the bustling streets of Southwark in the late 19th century, where guests and locals alike would gather at this iconic tavern. The image reveals a scene filled with life and activity: guests strolling along the cobbled street, horse-drawn carriages passing by, and people enjoying drinks on the pub's balustraded balconies. It offers a glimpse into daily life during the 17th century while also capturing an era when photography was still in its infancy. This black-and-white print not only serves as a visual delight but also acts as an important historical document. Preserved within private collections today, it allows us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship that went into constructing such structures and their enduring legacy within our urban landscape. Whether you are an admirer of architectural history or simply captivated by vintage photography, 'The George Inn Yard' is sure to transport you back in time.
