Search the London & Southern England Pub History site and Street directory by historical Pub name, surname or street address, i.e. use the search box below.
The Pub history site is a major historical street directory which lists mainly Pubs, beer retailers, taverns and hotels; and street name changes between about 1840 and 1940.
All transcriptions and imagery is copyright, and excepting personal usage (which is fine); is NOT available for commercial usage without explicit permission.
Many of the Pubs are still open, as I do not differentiate between dead and open Pubs.
The site is updated every day, mainly during pub opening hours.
Please contact: Kevan with any updates and additional details to the site/s. Thanks.
Bull, Bull Street, Dagenham
History of Dagenham

In the background is the Bull, Bull Street; now in Rainham Road South
and the Post Office
Kindly provided by Colleen
This is the Bull in Rainham Road South, Dagenham (the
road used to be known as Bull Street, just as Dagenham Village's other main
street was called Crown Street after another pub, the Rose & Crown.) The same
photo is on page 5 of Tony Clifford's "Dagenham pubs past and present". Tony
writes that the first mention of the name "the Bull" was in 1726. The Bull
has now been rebuilt and lies slightly to the south of the old site. ***

Best Broadband Providers in the UK - tested in October 2010.
Recommendations for a web site provider are:

Apologies for the delay in updates at present, but I suffer from BT Infinity.
BT Infinity appear to have a severe shortage of trained engineers, 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. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom.
I do not think that BT care, but I do!
