Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THREE pubs have won awards in the 1993 Camra/English Heritage Pub Design Awards. Two, I W Frazer's Cumberland Bar, Edinburgh (Best Pub Refurbishment) and the Fox and Anchor, Smithfield, London (English Heritage Conservation Awards) are traditional designs. The third, however - the Truscott, Curtain Road, in Shoreditch, east London - is an overtly modern cafe-bar that may, says the judges, 'shock traditionalists'. They add that the pub is a 'rare example of an architect choosing to abandon fake historicism and the tired cliches of today's pub interiors in favour of a frankly modern approach'. The architects (for Clarke Baker Inns) are Stock Woolstencroft. Although bright and white, the design also makes use of 'rich greens, reds and yellows and even a striking verdigris effect for the bar front'. No pub in the Newly Built category was considered worthy of an award.
