EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the Tankard Public House in Kennington, London, as it looked in the 1950s. The image, taken by an unknown photographer for the Charrington and Company Limited, presents a frontal view of the pub facade, with its distinctive tiled sign and ornate brickwork. The Tankard, located at SE11 6SF, was a popular local watering hole during the 1950s, attracting patrons with its welcoming atmosphere and affordable prices. The pub, now known as The Grand Union Burger Bar, has a rich history that spans several decades. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and community spirit was at the heart of every local pub. The Tankard was more than just a place to quench one's thirst; it was a social hub where friends gathered to share stories, laughter, and a pint or two. The photograph, which dates back to 1951, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional British pubs. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the history and character that these establishments bring to our communities. The Tankard Public House may have undergone changes over the years, but its spirit remains, continuing to serve as a beloved local institution in Kennington, London.
