The Holland Tringham

Holland Tringham was a Victorian artist who moved to Streatham at the height of his fame, in the late 19th century. He is best known, locally, for his six sketches of the old village of Streatham, copies of which are on the walls of this pub which bears his name.

Joseph Holland Tringham, born in 1861, began his career as an engineer. However, drawing interested him more than his job. He made caricatures of his colleagues; his boss, finding the sketches, sacked him for insolence.
