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.
Black Horse Inn, 42 Priory Road, Hastings
This may previously have been known As
Johnson's Beer House. 1901 must have been an awful year for landlady Alice Green
as this report from a misprint ridden local newspaper
shows. This beer house stood in the desperately
poor Halton district of Hastings where there were at least five other pubs/beer
houses just a stone's throw away: The Royal Sussex Arms, The Halton Tavern, The
Dun Horse, the Hope Inn and the Fortune of War. Today there are no pubs in this
area. Priory Road was renumbered in 1903 and the Black Horse became No.204
Priory Road. It probably closed shortly before WW1. The area has since been
redeveloped. The July 2010 photo shows the present block of flats which stand
slightly to the east of the Black Horse site. Inset: the address plate. ***

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!
