Black Horse, 40 Leman Street, Whitechapel

Whitechapel index

This pub was present by 1810. At 20 Leman Street in 1856; The pub is believed to have been built in its present form in the 1840s. Your records of Charles Calton/Catton here in 1839 and 1840 are interesting and suggest there may have been a former pub of the same name on this site or that the building is older than it looks. I have notes that Sarah King was landlady by 1911 and was still landlady in 1929 (the latter per Post Office Directory) It changed its name to Bar Bed in 2002. This pub closed in 2008, but has now reopened under the name ‘Zeppelin Shelter’. **

Apologies for the delay in updates at present, but I suffer from BT Infinity. BT Infinity appear to have a severe shortage of trained engineers, 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. Have you tried Virgin broadband, allegedly faster according to Ofcom. I do not think that BT care, but I do!
