This pub was listed as the Ship & Shovel in 1852, but by 1878 has become the Craven Arms, aka Craven Tavern in 1884. By the 1980s the name had reverted to the Ship & Shovel and this was amended to the Ship & Shovell following restoration in around 1997.

Emily Jarvis nee Quinton and her sisters were my great great aunts! I think James Jarvis died in 1884 – not clear how. In 1871, he and Emily, his wife to be, were working and living at Whitehall Garden National Club, Westminster – he as a valet, and she as a housemaid (4th housemaid, indeed). Their rise seemed to be as fast as their fall. I think Emily died in the 1890s. ***
