EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Union Tavern, an historic public house located in Woolwich, Old London. The Union Tavern, with its distinctive red brick exterior and ornate wooden sign, once stood proudly at SE18 6LS, a beloved institution in the community. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when local pubs served not only as social hubs but also as gathering places for friends and neighbors. The Union Tavern, which was not affiliated with the Hoare and Company Limited, has since been demolished, making this photograph a poignant reminder of its former existence. The pub, which was a popular watering hole for residents of Woolwich, dates back to an earlier era, although the exact date of its establishment is unknown. The photograph, taken prior to its demolition in 1934, provides a valuable record of this once-beloved local establishment. The Union Tavern was more than just a pub; it was a place where people came together to share stories, laughs, and a pint. The building's warm and inviting appearance, with its ornate sign and cozy facade, speaks to the sense of community and belonging that it once provided. Today, the Union Tavern may be gone, but its memory lives on through photographs like this one, which offer a glimpse into the past and remind us of the importance of the places that shape our communities.
