EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the corner view of the Rising Sun PH, located in Gravesend (New), Kent, in the 1940s. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases the charming facade of the pub, which was once a popular watering hole for the local community. The Rising Sun was a proud addition to the portfolio of the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known brewery in the region during that era. The back of the print reveals intriguing details about the pub's history. According to the trading record, the Rising Sun in Gravesend (New), Kent, DA11 7BW, was in operation as early as 1937 and continued to serve its patrons until 1961. However, the photograph was taken in 1948, just before the pub's eventual closure. Sadly, by July 2018, the Rising Sun had been closed, and the building was under development into a shelter for the homeless. The transformation marked the end of an era for this historic pub, which once played a significant role in the social fabric of Gravesend. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the rich history and character of the Rising Sun PH in Gravesend (New), Kent. The image invites us to reflect on the stories and memories that were created within its walls and encourages us to cherish the unique architectural and historical treasures that surround us.
