Brown Bear, 38 Millbank Street, St John, Westminster

Westminster St John index

At 82 Millbank Street by 1891. All but one of the entries in The Era * give the address of this pub as “Horseferry Road” or “Horseferry”, with a single entry giving “Millbank Street”. The 1869 OS map marks a pub on the corner of Horseferry Road and Millbank Street, and Horwood’s map of 1799 shows this corner house as being 38 Millbank Street. This, with the coincidence of the publican’s name in 1856 and 1869, suggests we are talking about the same pub. *
