EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless charm of Kings Head Inn Yard in Southwark, circa 1881. Taken by Henry Dixon as part of a series documenting endangered buildings in old London, this image showcases the architectural beauty that was at risk of demolition during that era. The inn's facade stands proudly, displaying its vernacular wooden structure against a backdrop of cobbled streets. The galleried galleries above add an air of elegance to the scene, while the bustling courtyard below reveals glimpses into daily life in this urban oasis. Horses can be seen tethered outside the stables, adding a touch of wildlife to this cityscape. Their presence reminds us that once upon a time, these animals were an integral part of everyday transportation and commerce. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it is also a testament to Victorian architecture and design. The intricate details on the inn's exterior speak volumes about craftsmanship from another era. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to a bygone era when coaching inns like Kings Head provided respite for weary travelers. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there is value in preserving our historical landmarks for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
