EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of the Old Star PH in St Mary Cray, Greater London. Captured in the 1960s, this image offers a glimpse into the past of this once-beloved local pub. The corner view showcased in the main side of the print reveals the Old Star's distinctive red brick facade, adorned with ornate white detailing and the iconic sign of the star above the door. The pub, which was located at 1 Page and Overton, St Mary Cray, Greater London BR5 3NL, was a cherished watering hole for generations of locals. Alas, the date of the Old Star's closure as a pub is not known, but it is believed to have been before 2008 when the building was converted into flats. This photograph, taken in 1961, serves as a poignant reminder of the history and character that once defined this community gathering place. The Old Star was a proud part of the rich pub culture in Greater London, having been owned by the Overton Brewery. The 1960s were a time of change and growth for the region, and the Old Star stood as a testament to the area's proud history. This photograph invites us to imagine the laughter, camaraderie, and stories that unfolded within its walls, making it an invaluable piece of social history.
