Dock House Tavern, 293 - 295 East India Dock Road, Bromley E14

The East India Dock Road pub also appears to have traded under the name East India Dock Tavern (eg in 1925). This pub was re-built on the site of an earlier tavern in 1818 and was again rebuilt between 1927 and 1935. It was demolished in 1958 during the widening of the approach road to the Blackwall Tunnel. **

I get hundreds of emails every day, fortunately most 'spam mails' are deleted by my mail scan settings. The final emails are delivered to various email addresses, and replying to these are not always successful. If you do not hear from me in a timely fashion, please feel free to email again, I do not mind! This is a pure PUBS history site, I doubt if I know where the PUBS are NOW, but try the site for where they were a hundred years ago, again enjoy!
