EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the Capel Arms pub in Acton, London, as it looked in the 1930s. The image, taken in 1935, shows the pub's facade in all its glory, with its distinctive signage and ornate brickwork. The Capel Arms, located at W3 8SJ, was once a proud establishment of the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known brewery in London during that era. The pub, which has been a beloved watering hole for generations, has an intriguing history. In the early 21st century, it narrowly escaped the fate of being converted into a homeless hostel. However, thanks to the efforts of local residents and preservation societies, the building was saved and converted into six modern flats, while retaining its historic character. The reverse side of this print includes valuable information about the Capel Arms' trading record, with details on its operation in 1929 and 1961. This photograph is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into London's rich pub history. Whether you're a local history enthusiast, a pub aficionado, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of old buildings, this print is a must-have addition to your collection.
