EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of the Cross Keys Public House in Dagenham, Essex, as it appeared prior to its demolition in 1952. The image focuses on the exposed floor joists, their intricate patterns and weathered wood revealing the history and character of this once popular local watering hole. The Cross Keys, located at RM10 9UH, was a cherished establishment in the community during the 1950s. The photograph, taken in the era of post-war optimism and the rise of the welfare state, captures the spirit of the time. The pub, managed by the Charrington and Company Limited, was a familiar gathering place for locals, offering respite and camaraderie amidst the bustling town of Dagenham. The Cross Keys, like many other traditional pubs of the era, was a vital part of the social fabric of the community. The image invites us to imagine the lively conversations, laughter, and clinking glasses that once filled the room. The pub's demolition in 1952 marked the end of an era, making this photograph a poignant reminder of a bygone time. The back of the print provides additional details about the pub's history, including the date of demolition and the construction of a new pub on the same site. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the role that pubs have played in shaping the social and cultural landscape of our communities.
