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.

The new Inn’ was closed quite a long time ago but remember seeing it when visiting East Farleigh with my mother around 1938/9 before it closed and again since its closure. My mother told me she was born there lst November, 1883 .My grandparents were newly married when they moved in but moved after several years and the birth of a second daughter in Oct. 1885. My grandparents name did not appear on any of the lists held at the White Lion, or The Walnut Tree, but I feel that may be due to the fact that they were not owners, and possibly she was a paid employee. My grandmother learned the trade from her uncle George Hughes who was the publican at ‘Old England’’ in Hollingbourne. (also closed some time ago).The family then moved to ‘The White Lion’ in Dean Street where my grandmother was the ‘Beer keeper’. This is shown on the census 1891. I have visited ‘The White Lion’ several times over the years and lunched there. On my last visit it had just been bought by a couple about to get married who had obtained permission to change the premises to a private residence. ***

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!
