EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 1950s, offering a glimpse into the lively atmosphere of the Esso Social Centre at Fawley. The billiards room depicted in this image exudes an air of recreation, leisure, and sport. Two billiard tables take center stage, their green felt tops inviting friendly competition and skilled shots. The room is adorned with classic decor, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. In the background, we catch sight of a well-stocked bar adorning the far wall. Its shelves are lined with bottles that promise refreshing libations after intense matches or perhaps as spectators cheer on their favorite players. The combination of billiards and a fully-equipped bar creates an ambiance that surely fostered camaraderie among patrons. This remarkable photograph was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20. It serves as a testament to both historic preservation efforts and our enduring fascination with capturing moments from days gone by. Through this image captured by A© Historic England Archive, we are transported back to an era where social centers like these provided much-needed respite from daily routines—a place where friends gathered to relax, compete, and forge lasting memories over games of skill amidst congenial company.
