Havering has lost many pubs over the years so we have rounded up a selection of snaps of former watering holes in the borough.
From The Cherry Tree in Rainham captured in 1970, to The Marlborough in Romford ten years later, Havering has a litany of historic pubs that evoke strong memories.
Though none of these pubs operate today, their memory serves as a reminder of the borough's rich history.
1. The Cherry Tree in South Hornchurch circa 1970
The Cherry Tree was bought along with the Old Hornchurch Brewery in 1925 by Mann Crossman and Paulin, according to Havering Libraries.
A second pub was built in 1934 behind the old premises, they add, which was torn down so the pub could sit back from Rainham Road.
It shut in May 2010 and has been a Tesco Express since 2011, Havering Libraries added.

2. The Marlborough in Romford circa 1980
This photograph of the Marlborough was taken around 1980.
The pub closed on March 5 in 2013 and was also converted into a Tesco Express.
3. The Duckwood in Harold Hill circa 1967
The premises in Whitchurch Road was formerly The Duckwood Inn.
It was opened on the corner of Whitchurch Road and Wigton Way by Manns Brewery on August 18 in 1955, according to Havering Libraries.
But in March 2010 the pub was boarded-up and ceased trading.
Just three years later it was demolished to make way for homes.
4. The George Inn, Upminster, circa 1890s
Though the George Inn had its final years the 1890s, the grade II building listed as Old Cottage still stands today, according to Havering Libraries.
5. The Plough in Gallows Corner circa 1900s
The Plough can be spotted to the middle-right of the picture in Colchester Road.
Havering Libraries remarked how quiet Colchester Road was back then, an uncommon sight now.
It was said to have dated back to the 16th century, but disaster struck in 2011 with a fire.
Today a KFC stands on the site of the historic pub.
6. The Old White Horse in North Ockendon circa 1900
Slightly further afield was The Old White Horse in North Ockendon, which was the most recent to close in 2022, according to Havering Libraries.
In 1876 it was described as a "little country inn" and the pub can be traced back to at least the 1750s.
The pub appears to have been altered during the 19th century, Havering Libraries added, by owners Ind Coope Brewery of Romford.
On the wall you can see an advert for the Daily Chronicle, a newspaper which printed from 1872 to 1930.
