EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Common Gate PH in Walthamstow, London, taken in the 1950s. The image showcases the corner view of this historic public house, a beloved establishment that once stood proudly in the heart of this vibrant community. Originally built by the Charrington and Company Limited, the Common Gate PH opened its doors in the mid-20th century. Over the years, it went through several name changes, including Sportsman, Couples, and JDs Bar, before eventually closing its doors in 2002. The building was then converted into the Common Gate Hotel. This photograph, taken in 1956, captures the pub in its prime. The red brick facade, adorned with white trim and intricate detailing, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The large, arched windows allow for ample natural light, inviting passersby to step inside and enjoy a pint of ale or a hearty meal. The Common Gate PH was more than just a place to quench one's thirst; it was a gathering spot for locals, a place to connect and share stories. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and community spirit that once thrived within these walls. As you gaze at this image, take a moment to imagine the laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the lively conversations that once filled the Common Gate PH in Walthamstow, London.
