The Historical Directory of Pubs in the South East of England, including London


Search the Historical Pubs site for the South East of England by street address, surname and known pub names powered by FreeFind
If you have a query then try the search engine first, if you have something to add to the historical Pubs site, please email - and as an added incentive, - if you offer useful information for a Public House or Beer House, then I will usually add lots of extra detail / landlords. All non-copyright pictures are always welcome; BUT, if I do not have relevant pictures on the site, then I do not know where to find them.

Enumerator description in 1871 census- South Hackney, District 5

District 2 , District 3  , District 4 , District 6

I thought it a little more interesting by following the enumerator along his or her steps as they listed the census for an area. Chosen is the District 5 of South Hackney in 1871. This is particularly to be able to list the relevant public houses, beer houses and taverns in Hackney; but more importantly to put the area of Hackney into perspective.

This is ongoing, and also helps to ensure all Public Houses are listed correctly, and ensure that road numbering changes that appear to confuse allow a better perspective of an area.

I think the enumerators description of this area is a good start - this relates to 60 census pages. I list a few of the entries along the way ........

"All that part of the District which comprises the east side of Mare Street, from the Bethnal Green boundary, south side of Victoria Park Road to Victoria Park entrance, including John Street, North Street, Lark Row, Gore Road and St Agnes Terrace."

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!
