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.

My grandfather, Bertie Livett, was the manager here for H H Finch in 1936. He moved on to manage another of Finch's houses but I think it was at the war's end. Can't remember the name but do remember pulling pints there in either 1948 or 49!
His son Douglas Livett managed The Black Horse on Marylebone High Street for quite a few years until at least 1960. Earliest knowledge of my grandfathers activities is the he worked at the Arsenal making munitions in WW1, ran a Pub/Hotel at Hearne Bay and ran the George, in Bexley. ++

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!
