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.

The person you list as the Publican from 1934, ARTHUR SAMUEL LAZARUS, was my Grandfather and my Mother was actually born in the living accommodation above the pub. His brother was Albert Langdon; and no doubt his name was on the licence at times. My Grandfather took over the pub from his Father, Jacob Lazarus, who died in 1929; and the following is an update on the years that they were landlords:- ***

From approx 1915 until 1925 or 1926, JACOB LAZARUS was the publican.
From 1925 or 1926 until 1954 ARTHUR SAMUEL LAZARUS was the publican.

During the First World War, one of our own bomb shells went through the roof of The Shakespeare! ***

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!
