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.

Charles Alfred James Yeo, licensee of the Hare, Cambridge Heath Road,
Bethnal Green, has been associated with Truman's for 42 years. On September
18th, 1907, he became the landlord of the Black Horse, Abbey Street (now
Buckfast Street) when he was 21 years of age, one of the youngest ever to hold a licence.
After service with the R.A.S.C. in the 1914 - 18 War, during
which time Mrs Yeo gallantly carried on, Mr Yeo returned to the Black Horse and
stayed there until 1928, when he moved to his present house, the Hare.
It was difficult to persuade Mr Yeo to talk about his life,
although he did admit to a keen interest in sport during his early years.
Mr and Mrs Yeo have been happily married for over forty years
and, having met them both, it is easy to understand the reason for their
happiness; they are two very pleasant and human people. ***

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!
