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 mother, who was born in 1906, Maude Alexandra Esmond, lived at the pub from about 1912 with her uncle Charles Esmond, who was the publican, and his wife, Annie (his former housemaid), and his children, who were my mother's cousins. She was officially adopted by her uncle and was extremely happy there. Some years later, Charles Esmond left The Resolute and opened a bottle shop somewhere else.  ***

I remember she used to talk about the pub during the first world war, and when the bombs were dropped the patrons would go into the cellar and pop the corks on the kegs and come back up all drunk and happy.
She always talked about the 100 steps she had to climb up to their accommodation at the top of the building and I know there were at least three levels to the building in those days. ***

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!
