EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the timeless charm of The Old George Inn, located on Salisbury high street in Wiltshire, England. Dating back to 1364, this historic coaching inn served as a crucial stopover for travelers journeying between London and the South West. The photograph showcases the inn's beautiful timber-framed architecture, standing proudly against the backdrop of an avenue lined with quaint buildings. Steeped in history, The Old George Inn has welcomed notable visitors throughout the centuries. Figures such as Oliver Cromwell in 1645 and Samuel Pepys have graced its doors, leaving behind echoes of their presence within these ancient walls. This image is part of a series called "Old Inns - A Series of 40", published by W. D. & H. O. Wills in 1936. The photo exudes a sense of nostalgia with its aged appearance and old-fashioned atmosphere. It transports viewers back to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed the road outside this charming pub. As we gaze upon this snapshot from 1936, we are reminded not only of the architectural beauty but also of the vibrant social life that once thrived within these walls. Men and women can be seen strolling along Salisbury's bustling high street while others gather outside The Old George Inn to enjoy each other's company.
