The Pub History Sitemap

Feathers, 34 Great Chapel Street, St Margaret, Westminster

Westminster St Margaret index

The address in 1856 and earlier is at 6 Great Chapel Street. In existence since at least 1745, the pub is marked on the 1869 OS map in its present position (east side, between Dacre Street and Tothill Street). The street was called Broadway in 1795 (Horwood’s map) and reverted to Broadway some time between 1908 and 1935, but some of the houses at the northern end used Broadway as part of their address throughout the 19th Century, and the License transfer references from The Era simply say “Broadway”. The numbering scheme in 1851 was especially chaotic, with 1 to 17 going south on the west side, 1 to 12 going north on the east side up to Dacre Street, then descending again from 9 back to 1 between Dacre Street and Tothill Street. *

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!
