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.

My Grandfather (my mother's father), Hubert Dominic Wright was the licensee for this pub during the 1920's. There were 4 children in the family & they all lived on the pub premises, my mother was born in 1922. Although 84 she can remember when at 4 years old she lost the tips of her fingers when they got slammed in the pub's door & her father rushed her to the nearest hospital (no car in those days!) where they were unable to save the fingers.

She mentioned that her Aunts & Uncles also managed pubs in that area too but couldn't remember details. They had to move out of the pub in approx. 1930 when Hubert died suddenly. **


1934/Ernest Cooper/../../../Kelly's ****

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!
