British Pubs

Vintage colour photos of British pubs from the 1950s to the 1990s, documenting one of the country’s most enduring social institutions across the post-war decades. Taken on colour film, these images capture public houses as everyday gathering places at the heart of towns, cities, and villages throughout Britain.

This collection includes views of pub exteriors and interiors, signage, street corners, surrounding buildings, and local streets, reflecting the character and variety of British pubs during the second half of the 20th century. From traditional inns and Victorian pubs to later suburban establishments, the photographs preserve a detailed visual record of pub culture before widespread closures, refurbishment, and changes in drinking habits reshaped the British pub landscape.

All images are available as high-resolution, royalty-free digital downloads suitable for editorial, commercial, or personal use.
