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.

Elizabeth Attree was the wife of George Attree from Cowfold. They were the
publicans in 1860, I think. George died early 1860's and Elizabeth married
my great great grandfather Charles Coleman in 1864. On my great grandmothers
birth certificate Charles Coleman is listed as the publican. On the 1871
Census Charles Coleman is a Journeyman Miller, with a small daughter
Clara Harriett Coleman - My great grandmother. By 1881 Clara is living with
her uncle in Brede. To the best of my knowledge both her parents were dead
then. *
Elizabeth Attree's first husband George Attree was a grandson of George
Attree, the publican of The Ship Inn, in Cuckfield. Elizabeth is listed as a
barmaid in the 1851 census at that pub. I think perhaps George senior helped
them to get into the Plough Inn as publicans. *

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!
