EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Sign of the Bulls Head at Strand-On-the-Green, dating back to approximately 1935. Located in Chiswick, west London, this historic 18th-century tavern stands proudly by the River Thames. Its significance lies in its role as a meeting place for riverboat captains who would gather here to arrange crews and cargoes. With over four centuries of history, this inn has witnessed countless tales unfold within its walls. Legend even suggests that Oliver Cromwell himself once graced its premises. The image showcases the architectural beauty of this British landmark, showcasing its charming exterior with shutters adorning the windows. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Field, featured in "Wonderful London, Volume 3" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and published around 1935 by Fleetway House in London. This monochrome photograph transports us back to a time when life moved at a different pace along these streets. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the rich heritage embedded within every brick and beam of this pub sign. It serves as an enduring symbol not only of Chiswick's past but also of England's cultural tapestry. Let us cherish such historical treasures that connect us to our roots and remind us of those who came before us.
