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.

"The Red Lion sat in front of the Welsh Harp and fronted the Market Square when the Market square was much smaller and enclosed on all 4 sides. You have my 3x Great Grandfather listed as landlord - William Argent (b. 1786 - d. 1850). Your listings show the next landlord as H. Newman.

Henry Newman was not only William's step son (William's 2nd wife was the Widow Elizabeth Newman formerly Cass) but also his son-in-law as Henry was married to Alice Argent, his daughter."

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!
