I am looking for my 2xGt Grandfather who was Israel Baws, as the Licensed Victualler at 313 Old Street, Shoreditch as that was listed on his death certificate in 1917. It would appear that at the time this was the Prince of Wales. The directories I have searched give the name of Prince of Wales and then name Coleman Cohen. ***

Whilst searching the archives I also came across a Samuel Baws (Israel's brother I think) who is listed as the License holder for the Prince of Wales, 16 Northdown Street from Sept 1915-Jul 1924. These premises were in Pentonville ward and were supplied by City of London Brewery, Upper Thames Street. ***

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!
