EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the General Gordon Public House in Gravesend, Kent, a once-thriving local watering hole that has since closed its doors. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, shows the left facade of the pub, with its distinctive red brick and white trim design, adorned with ornate detailing and the familiar sign of the General Gordon, a nod to the historical figure after whom the pub was named. The General Gordon, which was not affiliated with the Charrington and Company Limited, had been a beloved establishment in the community of Gravesend for many years, serving as a gathering place for locals and travelers alike. However, in July 2018, the pub met an unfortunate end when a fire destroyed the building, leaving only memories and this photograph as reminders of its existence. The back of the print reveals that the General Gordon was located at DA12 5JS in Gravesend, Kent, and had closed following the devastating fire in 1992. The pub's loss is a reminder of the transient nature of buildings and businesses, and the importance of preserving the history of our communities, one photograph at a time.
