Broadway Parade
A 19th Century writer said: “Can you wonder that the gaudy gin-palaces, with their light and their glitter, are crowded? Drink is sustenance to those people; drink gives them the Dutch courage necessary to go on living; drink dulls their senses and reduces them to the level of the brutes they must be to live in such places.” Today’s Crouch Enders are hopefully a little less ‘brutish’, but can still gather ‘the dutch courage necessary to go on living’ in the opulent Victorian setting of The Queens pub.
Opposite the Queens on the other side of Elder Avenue you can see the rather fantastic launderette with its' original 1950's signboard. To view the Broadway Parade virtual tour at full size, please click the thumbnail image below.
