The presence of our pubs is far too valuable to ever estimate, but the death of our pubs is a sure way of estimating just how far we've fallen.

Love is exactly like a smashed pint glass. Once it's broken, there's no amount of patching that will ever make it appear or be as strong as it was.

All on "Β£7 a week."
1950s - The 16 children of Mr and Mrs O' Hare. Thanks to all of our so-called "progress," you couldn't imagine trying this today.
"And they're all very, very happy."

1955 - The Crown & Cushion that once sat on one of #Surrys main roads between #Haslemere and #Shottermill (which has since become flats) was once a welcoming pub where the locals' faces were painted onto their own personal glasses by the landlord himself. #RIP πΊ

Britain's communities are made, kept, or broken by the birth, maintenance, or death of its public houses.

#RIP - The Mitre Pub at 164 #Croydon Road, Anerley, #London, #SE20, which is now currently undergoing a ruthless death, was built in the midβVictorian era, to serve the growing suburb of London. Born in roughly the 1860s, the developer claims that (after having left it to rot for decades) that it's structurally unsound. π As well as this, for a long time, its alleyway was used for criminal activity. So, instead of fixing contemporary issues, they'd rather destory our historically and culturally revlevant
buildings in aid of a new, stale world.
You are currently witnessing the final stages of #Britain's cultural decline.

St Martin's Lane is a street in the City of #Westminster that runs from the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields (where it gets it name) to near #TrafalgarSquare. As we can see the church spire at the bottom of the hill, we can tell we're looking down the hill from North to South. On our right is an old Beer House that has since long gone. There are still a few pubs present, notably the Salisbury. We are so spoilt with photography these days that Illustrations like this no longer get the credit or attention they deserve. @BritainsPubs
