EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the facade of the China Ship pub, located in Wapping, London (E1W 1LN), in the late 1940s. The pub, which was rebuilt after being damaged during the Second World War in 1940, is prominently displayed here with its ornate signage and intricate brickwork. The name "China Ship" and the "New" designation suggest a long and rich history, which is further supported by the back of the print, detailing the trading record of the pub from 1934 to 1947. The China Ship was once a cherished local institution in the Wapping area, which was known for its maritime and industrial heritage. The pub was a popular gathering place for the local community, with its cozy interior offering respite from the hustle and bustle of the bustling docks and warehouses. Sadly, the China Ship pub was demolished in 2005, making way for new development. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when traditional pubs like the China Ship were an integral part of the fabric of working-class London. The image captures the character and charm of the pub, transporting us back in time to an era of community, camaraderie, and simple pleasures.
