EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Hit or Miss pub in Gravesend, Kent, taken in the 1930s. The image showcases the pub's facade in all its glory, with its distinctive red brick exterior and ornate signage. The name "Hit or Miss" is prominently displayed, inviting passersby to take a chance and enter. This pub, located at DA11 0DP, was once a beloved local establishment, having served the community since at least 1924, as evidenced by the trading record on the back of the print. The Hit or Miss was part of the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known brewery in the UK during the 1930s. Despite its rich history, the Hit or Miss pub met an unfortunate end and was closed in 1987. It was eventually demolished, leaving behind only memories and this photograph as reminders of its existence. The image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the role that local pubs played in the social fabric of communities. This photograph, taken in 1931, is a testament to the charm and character of the Hit or Miss pub and serves as a reminder of the stories and memories it holds. The back of the print also includes valuable information about the pub's history and trading record, adding to its historical significance. A must-have for anyone with an interest in local history, pub culture, or simply appreciating the beauty of old photographs.
