EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Crown and Sceptre Inn, a historic riverside tavern located on Crane Street in Greenwich, London, in the year 1875. The Crown and Sceptre Tap, as it was also known, was a prominent and cherished establishment in the area, boasting a rich history that spanned several centuries. The name of the inn was derived from the symbolic crown and sceptre, emblems of monarchical power, which adorned the pub sign. The photograph presents a snapshot of a bygone era, with horse-drawn carriages and figures in Victorian attire milling about the bustling streets of Greenwich. The inn, with its red-brick facade and large, inviting windows, stands proudly on the waterfront, its welcoming aura beckoning to weary travelers and local residents alike. Sadly, the Crown and Sceptre Inn did not endure into the modern age. Around the turn of the 20th century, the tavern closed its doors and was eventually demolished, leaving behind only memories and the occasional photograph as reminders of its existence. Today, the site where the inn once stood is likely to have been redeveloped, a testament to the ever-changing landscape of London. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and experiences that unfolded within the walls of the Crown and Sceptre Inn over the course of its long and storied history.
