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.

Jolly Sailor, 8 New Gravel Lane, Shadwell

Address formerly 27 New Gravel Lane in 1856 and earlier. **

Jolly Sailor, 8 New Gravel Lane, Shadwell - circa 1895 - J Bullen

Jolly Sailor, 8 New Gravel Lane, Shadwell - circa 1895 - J Bullen

By the age of the children this picture was taken around April 1895. May Maud Amelia BULLEN was born 1.5.1888 so nearly 7, and Violet Victoria BULLEN on 1.5.1893 was nearly 2. Their third child, Ivy BULLEN was born 10.5.1895 - you can see Fanny Charlotte's baby bump! I assume the others in the photo are their employees with John BULLEN standing near the children.

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!
