EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the George & Dragon Public House, located in the heart of Barbican, London. The image, taken in the 1920s, showcases the pub's striking facade, with its ornate brickwork and distinctive signage. The George & Dragon, a beloved local institution, has a rich history that dates back to at least 1928, as evidenced by the trading record featured on the reverse of this print. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was an era of great social and cultural change. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the vibrant social scene that once thrived within the walls of this historic pub. The George & Dragon would have been a popular gathering place for locals and travelers alike, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere where friends could meet, stories could be shared, and a pint of ale could be enjoyed. Despite its charming charm, the George & Dragon, like many historic buildings in London, has not escaped the passage of time. Sadly, this pub, which once stood at 13-15 St. Giles' Crescent, EC2Y 8AD, is no longer in existence. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history and character that once defined this beloved Barbican institution. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in London's history, pub culture, or the 1920s. It makes for a beautiful addition to any home or office, and is sure to spark conversation and intrigue among those who view it. The reverse of the print includes a detailed trading record for the George & Dragon, providing valuable context and historical information.
