EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the corner view of the historic Bolton Hotel, located in the heart of South Kensington, London. Established in 1939, the Bolton Hotel was once a beloved public house, popular among locals and visitors alike. The image, taken in the 1930s, showcases the classic architecture of the building, with its distinctive Art Deco design and ornate detailing. The pub's corner location allows for a glimpse into the bustling street life of South Kensington, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. The back of the print reveals the Bolton Hotel's trading record, detailing its history from 1934 to 1961. This period saw significant changes in the area, as South Kensington continued to develop into a desirable residential and commercial district. Despite these transformations, the Bolton Hotel remained a steadfast presence, providing a welcoming atmosphere for those seeking a pint and a bit of community. Individually owned, the Bolton Hotel was not part of a large corporation or brewery company. Instead, it was a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of the Hoare and Company Limited, the business that operated the pub during this time. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and character that can be found in the smallest of establishments, and the enduring appeal of a local pub. This photograph, kindly provided by The National Brewery Heritage Trust from their extensive collection on Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine the stories and memories that were created within the walls of the Bolton Hotel.
