EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of The Papermakers Arms pub in Hawley, Kent during the interwar period. Taken on 11 March 1939 by renowned photographer John Topham, this image offers a glimpse into the bustling interior of the bar. The monochrome tones beautifully capture the essence of this popular watering hole, transporting us to a time when Europe was on the brink of another devastating conflict. As we observe the scene, we can almost hear lively conversations and clinking glasses echoing through the air. The barman stands behind his counter with an air of expertise, ready to serve patrons their favorite alcoholic beverages. The walls are adorned with vintage advertisements and framed photographs that add character to this cozy establishment. Patrons gather around wooden tables, engaged in animated discussions or simply enjoying each other's company. This snapshot from the thirties encapsulates not only a specific moment in history but also reflects a sense of camaraderie and community found within traditional pubs like The Papermakers Arms. It serves as a reminder that even amidst uncertain times, people sought solace and connection in these cherished establishments. John Topham's skillful composition invites us to step into this nostalgic scene and experience firsthand what it was like to be part of that era.
