The Historical London, Middlesex, Sussex & Surrey Dead Pubs site in the South East of England
Prince Regent Tavern, 8 St George Street , St George In East
The opposite side of St George Street is listed in
Wapping
A listing of historical public houses,
Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in St George In East, London - in East
London. The St George In East, East London listing uses information from census, Trade
Directories and History to add licensees, bar staff, Lodgers and Visitors.
Prince Regent, 8 St George Street, London E1 - circa 1895
Kindly provided by Michael Larsen
The Prince Regent, which was at No. 8., is on the right with the
overhanging lamp and J. Nelson's name over the facade [ listed in 1895
as the licensee]. This may be the one and only surviving photograph of
this Pub. The Pub on the left of the Photograph, with the flag
and the Pub lamp is possibly The
Cock and
Neptune at the entrance to Neptune Street. The Cock and Neptune was
a pub on the ground floor, and a lodging house on the first floor (with
a separate entrance).
***
As a matter of unconnected
interest, the man with a beard and holding his hat in his right hand on
the left, is John Hamlyn, the proprietor of the wild animal shop with
hanging birdcage behind him (No. 221). He was the "inventor" of the
chimpanzees' tea party, and was a supplier
of animals to zoos - like Charles Jamrach at No. 179 / 180.

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!
Once you have discovered enough history of Essex; why not study to undergraduate or postgraduate level in Computer Science or Electronics Engineering at the Department of Computing and Electronic Systems, Essex University in Colchester, Essex? It is not only a great place to study, but also a foreleader in technology at an UK leading University with courses and doctoral research in Robotics, Natural Engineering, Intelligent Systems,
Embedded Systems, Networking and Photonics, Laser Technology etc.
