EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the exterior of the Compasses Public House in Hornchurch, Essex, as it looked in the 1960s. The image, taken from a direct face-on view, showcases the classic design of the pub with its distinctive red-brick facade, large windows, and ornate signage. The Compasses, located at RM12 4XS, was built in 1935 and had its licence transferred from Romford to this location in 1963. At the time, the pub was under the management of the Harvester chain, which was part of the larger Mitchel & Butlers group. The back of the print reveals intriguing details about the pub's history, including its trading record from 1940 and 1962. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Compasses was a beloved local watering hole in the heart of Hornchurch.
