The Pub History Sitemap

Rose And Crown, 13 Mare Street, Hackney E8

There was a pub in Hackney village in 1636 called the Rose, which was probably the predecessor of this pub. At 7 Anns Terrace, Cambridge Heath in 1861 census.  **

If there was a building prior to 1830 on this site it must be linked to a different location entirely. There were recent Elizabethan remains found close to the site which would suggest either a grand house or more likely shops on the Mare Street road and it is possible a pub / coaching inn could have existed on site but the records are not there to support this. In addition the building was badly damaged if not destroyed in the 1870s and sold at auction after extensive renovation and rebuilding in around 1886.The pub was shut in 1998 by Whitbread due to lack of trade, it was subsequently squatted and treated very badly and was in a terrible state of repair when we bought it and began repairs. A cursory glance at the building beyond the need for new paint on the property would show it is occupied. ***

The building itself is dated back to 1830 and was only ever owned by the Whitbread brewery. It has an interesting history in recent times and was once host to a jazz club where Ronnie Scott used to play. In more recent times it fell into a rather poor state of repair and notoriety losing reputation and clientele. A name change to The Cambridge failed to halt the decline and subsequent closure. ***

Best Broadband Providers in the UK - tested in October 2010. Recommendations for a web site provider are: eukhost.com - see my Whats New page to clarify this

An exceptionally strong recommendation for a Gas Safe engineer in Essex is N R Heating who fixed several gas leaks in my home today. The work was very professional, totally committed to safety and quality; plus the price was very competitive; and after sales service is again exceptional. New boiler installation was also another brilliant service. A very high class recommendation for a Gas Safe Engineer in Essex and London.

Apologies for British Telecom who provide my broadband until the 18 month contract ends. I suffer from BT Infinity. who appear to have a severe shortage of lack of after sales service, hence my broadband not working for nearly a week, so far. The BT engineer has purportedly fixed the problem, and not bothered to visit. I apologise reservedly for the total lack of care by BT Infinity in this matter of NOT fixing my broadband. I have made three apointments for them to visit, but they appear to not understand customer care and arranged visits. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I am certain the service is also better. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
