EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the talented Bedford Lemere in May 1895, transports us back to the Victorian era. The image captures the interior of The Leicester Public House, located on New Coventry Street in Westminster. Designed by renowned architects Threadwell and Martin, this establishment exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. Stepping into the Saloon Bar through its ornate doors feels like entering a time capsule. The impeccable attention to detail is evident in every corner; from the intricately patterned wallpaper that adorns the walls to the polished wooden bar that stretches across one side of the room. Soft rays of sunlight filter through large windows, casting a warm glow upon patrons as they engage in lively conversations over their drinks. The atmosphere within this historic pub is palpable - laughter mingles with clinking glasses while billiards balls crack against each other nearby. One can almost imagine gentlemen donning top hats and waistcoats engaging in friendly banter at high tables adorned with crisp white tablecloths. Bedford Lemere's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides a glimpse into daily life during this period. This photograph serves as a testament to both his skill behind the lens and his ability to capture moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England's collection, we are reminded of how public houses have long been cherished gathering places for communities throughout history – where stories were shared, friendships forged, and memories made.
