The Pub History Sitemap

Angel, 23 Great Chapel Street, St Margaret, Westminster

Westminster St Margaret index

Earlier address is at 7 Great Chapel Street. The pub was on the east side of Great Chapel Street, between Dacre Street and Orchard Street, although the 1869 OS map does not mark a PH there. The street was renumbered between 1851 and 1861, causing the address change from No 7 to No 23. The pub closed in 1906.
Mr Watson, who appears in 1841 and again in 1861 is possibly the same man. The age is roughly right, though the birthplace is not. In the 1851 Census, the James Watson born in Darton, Bucks in 1809/10 was publican at the Three Compasses in Lambeth, but his wife was not present on census night, nor were any of his children. *

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!
