Search the London & Southern England Pub History site and Street directory by historical Pub name, surname or street address, i.e. use the search box below.
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.
All transcriptions and imagery is copyright, and excepting personal usage (which is fine); is NOT available for commercial usage without explicit permission.
Many of the Pubs are still open, as I do not differentiate between dead and open Pubs.
The site is updated every day, mainly during pub opening hours.
Please contact: Kevan with any updates and additional details to the site/s. Thanks.

The Trask family
Kindly provided by Samuel Trask
My grandfather Samuel Ernest Trask was landlord of the Belfast Tavern (now
just called The Bell) from the early 1930s. I know he was there in 1933 as I
have a postcard to him at that address, but it may have been earlier. He
died in 1943 but his wife Miriam Trask then ran it, with his sister Rose
Trask, until the late 1950s. ***
My grandfather, Samuel Ernest, was a Wine Cellarman when he was young. My
father told me that he was the head Cellarman at The Grand Hotel in Brighton
before he took over The Somerset Arms in Somerset Street, Brighton. He then
moved on to run The Burton Arms, at 32
Russell Street, Brighton where I believe that my father was born in
1917. Then sometime between then and 1934 the family took over the Belfast
Tavern, but it might be significant that my father couldn’t remember much
about Russell Street.
Another member of the family on that census return took a pub in Brighton
for a time. Both Robert and William joined the Grenadier Guards on 4 Sep
1914. Surprisingly, they both survived WW1 and Robert took on The
Northumberland Arms for a while
before becoming a caretaker at Tamplins Brewary – I’ve no idea of the dates
though.

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!
