EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this evocative photograph of the Pitts Head pub in Canning Town, London, as it looked in the 1950s. The image captures the facade of the pub in all its glory, with its distinctive signage and red brick exterior. The Pitts Head, located at 16-18 Barking Road, E16 1NL, was a popular local watering hole during the 1950s, run by the Charrington and Company Limited. The back of this print reveals intriguing details about the pub's history. According to the records, the Pitts Head was in operation as early as 1956, and by 1961, it continued to serve the community. However, sadly, the pub met its end in 1956, and was demolished, making way for new developments. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the character and charm of a bygone era. The Pitts Head pub, with its rich history and local significance, serves as a reminder of the vibrant and diverse social fabric of Canning Town and London during the 1950s. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of art but also an essential historical document, preserving a moment in time that would otherwise be lost to history.
