EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the Rising Sun PH, located in the historic town of Gravesend, Kent, England. Established in the early 1900s, this pub, also known as a "boozer" or "local," holds a significant place in the community's history. The image, taken in the 1910s, showcases the pub's classic design, with its red brick exterior, ornate woodwork, and distinctive signage. The Rising Sun was once a part of the Charrington and Company Limited's extensive network of public houses. The back of the print reveals fascinating details about the pub's history. According to the trading record, the Rising Sun, Gravesend (Oldest), Kent, was in operation as early as 1913. However, the pub was demolished and rebuilt in 1919. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the rich history of Gravesend and its pub culture. The Rising Sun, though no longer standing in its original form, continues to be an essential part of the town's heritage. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of English pubs or the architectural and social history of Gravesend and Kent.
