There's making a mistake, and there's deserving public execution..

Here today, gone tomorrow. 🍻

We must save our pubs or lose the vital, wholesome culture that they once provided.

The Earl Of Zetland was one situated at 137 Burdett Road, #London. This pub was demolished c1970. #RIP
This is the only image immediately available of the property. ⚰️

#London's Pubs Are Dying ⚰️

Here is a montage of a few public houses across #London that have been closed. I wonder if you'll recognize any of them or where they were? We are losing countless Pubs, some which were irreplaceable

Cat and Mutton Public House, Broadway Market London Fields Hackney, in 1906

Just because a "#pub" is still open doesn't make it a real public house. Throughout time, pubs were places for the poor & wealthy alike to seek cheap refuge among others, obtaining much needed social interaction & forming community bonds. "Gastropubs" are the polar opposite.
