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.
Hanbury Street, East London.
The Jack the Ripper story is exceedingly well
documented by many at casebook.org - what
a brilliant site. There are many amateur sleuths, and a whole host of detectives
to the highest ranks on this site.
I just like to recreate some facts, in a simple
format, e.g. a timeline of Hanbury Street; and its residents, and its Pubs in
London.
A good start is to look at the Trade
Directories and census available for these years. Starting with 1841, through
the 1850's to about 1944 a hundred years later. Referring back to Hanbury Street -
see map.
I have current access to Trade Directories of
1882 and later that show Hanbury Street as a rather long road. About 25 years
earlier [1856] it is split into four separate sections, and entirely different
road names.
These four roads are : -
Browns Lane
[2-26 Hanbury Street & 3 - 39 Hanbury Street]
Montague Street (aka New Montague
Street)
Wells Street
/ Preston Street
Church Street
The historical directory listing will use these
as a base.

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
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!
