EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Wheatsheaf Pub, Thornton Heath, Greater London (1934-1961) 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the historic Wheatsheaf Pub, located in Thornton Heath, Greater London (CR7 6AW). The image, taken prior to its closure in the mid-1960s, showcases the pub's charming facade with its distinctive signage and red-brick exterior. 3. Background: The Wheatsheaf Pub, a cherished local establishment, was a popular watering hole for residents of Thornton Heath for several decades. The pub's rich history can be traced back to at least 1934, as evidenced by the trading record printed on the reverse side of this photograph. 4. Trading Record: The back of the print reveals the pub's trading record, detailing its operation from 1934 to 1961. This period marked a significant time in the history of the Wheatsheaf, as it was a time of post-war recovery and social change. The pub likely played an essential role in the community, serving as a gathering place for locals and providing a sense of connection and camaraderie. 5. Closure and Controversy: Sadly, the Wheatsheaf Pub closed its doors in the mid-1960s. In 2016, plans to demolish the building and replace it with a six-story structure were proposed, but the application was ultimately denied. Today, the site stands empty, a poignant reminder of the area's history and the loss of a cherished local institution. 6. Legacy: This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the memories of a community that once thrived around the Wheatsheaf Pub. It serves as a testament to the importance of preserving the history of local establishments and the role they play in shaping the character of our neighborhoods.
