EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless charm of the Lamb & Flag pub in Homerton, London, as it stood in July 2018. The image, taken from the main entrance, invites us in with its warm, inviting glow and intriguing history. The pub, a beloved local institution, is nestled among the vibrant streets of Homerton, with its distinctive red and white signage proudly displayed. The Lamb & Flag, established in the late 1800s, is a testament to the rich history of public houses in London. Over the years, it has served as a gathering place for locals, a hub for community events, and a refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life. The name "Lamb & Flag" is believed to originate from the 17th century tradition of hanging a flag above a pub to indicate that it served meat, specifically mutton or lamb. The pub's history is not without its challenges, however. As of July 2018, the Lamb & Flag, like so many other beloved establishments, faced the threat of demolition. The back of this photograph includes a somber reminder that, as of this printing, the pub had been demolished. The loss of such a historic and cherished building is a reminder of the importance of preserving the rich cultural heritage of our communities. Despite its fate, the Lamb & Flag continues to hold a special place in the hearts of those who have passed through its doors. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the history, warmth, and community that once thrived within its walls.
