This video was filmed in April of 1896 outside the #EmpireTheatre, #LeicesterSquare, #London. I'd give anything to see the pubs that were trading during the time. Make sure you turn up the sound. As loud as London used to be, the sounds of the past are far better than the vehicle ridden noise box of today.

Port of #London: British sailors having a beer in the Bluepost pub in #Limehouse, East #London, around 1939. This pub was present by 1800 and was re-built in 1876. It was demolished in 1987-1988 in a road-widening scheme. Today, Limehouse is a shadow of its bustling self, though the evidence of the busy Docklands is still visible throughout the area.

A glorious, antique photograph of the #Wine Vaults in #London Docks. Nowadays our alcohol arrives on lorries, planes and big, boring ships. Once, our booze adventured the seven seas the old fashioned way just so #England's wine lovers could indulge. 🍷 @lostandlivingpubs

#RIP Ordnance Arms ⚰️

The pub is one of the last recognisable traits of the region. It had its name changed to "O'Connors" some time before February 2007, but it changed back to the "Ordnance Arms" again in May 2016. The pub sits opposite the old 'Royal #ArtilleryBarracks in #Woolwich', which is now a modernistic estate. One surviving pub in the artillery zone is the 'Dial Arch' (Riverside, The Warren, No 1 St, Royal #Arsenal, #London). We coveted it in the past as it was the founding spot of @Arsenal football club.

The Ordnance served many football fans and locals alike, we will keep an eye on it and hope for the best.
