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.

Herbert Steel was the brother of my Great Grandfather. My Great Grandmother, by then a widow, took on the tenancy of Herbert's house at 49, Broke Road as of 1st April 1891 - might we guess that that was when Herbert Steel went to the "Northumberland Arms" ? Herbert died in July 1895 (he was buried in Abney Park Cemetery on 19th July 1895) so that would be the end of his tenancy or ownership. ***

Other family members included Charles Steel whom was at the "Crown and Castle" in Kingsland Road, and another pub called the "Robert Peel". His daughters were also in the business. ***

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!
