From The Lamb on Market Place in 1967, pictured in black and white, to The Pig in Pound captured in colour, both close by the bustling activity of traders.
Take a look at our selection of Romford pubs from that period.
The Lamb in Market Place, Romford, 1967
The Lamb was the Ind Coope Brewery’s flagship pub for many years.
Havering Libraries estimate that the pub was likely bought in 1867.
An advert from 1852 for the pub read: “This much-frequented and convenient Inn is situated in the best part of the Market-place, and now doing considerable trade.”
The King’s Head in Romford, 1967
This pub was known to have hosted many bands in its premises.
Romford was on the brink of change in 1967 and 1968, years when The Liberty shopping centre was under construction.
Many pubs faced demolition at that time, and The King’s Head was one of them in 1967.
The Pig in Pound in Market Place, Romford, 1967
The Pig in Pound, on the right, was at 43-55 Market Place.
Pictured also is retailer SK, M. Regen and the Laurie Cafe to the left.
Ann Stevens, a wool shop, is the nearest store to the pub.

That building still stands, according to Havering Libraries, and became Amelia’s Wine Bar in the late 1980s, with Secrets Nightclub attached.
The Royal Oak in Victoria Road, Romford, 1967
Stood in Victoria Road, The Royal Oak was first built as a beershop in 1866, Havering Libraries records estimate.
It was licensed to sell “beer, bottled beer, porter, cider, ale and perry” in 1872.
The pub closed in October 1985 to make way for the final stage of the Romford town centre ring road.
