I have been updating the site to add modern postcodes. One area was St Clement Danes. This area includes Aldwych (modern), Drury lane and the Strand. It soon becomes apparent that the Strand is an easy area to work with, as numbering seems to stay the same through history. Large parts of this area are […]
Can you help with pub & railway stations pictures?
I am placing a request to everybody. I have no idea whether anyone reads any of my blogs, or visits any of my sites, but hey ho. I am looking for any pictures of any railway stations, either underground, or over the top. I do not yet have the time to visit all of these. […]
Fox, Royal Standard & White Hind – Southwark
My pages on these were not bad, but David Elis-Williams sent me details of articles written by him, and these add richly to the early life of these three public houses, well, two really. The White Hind, later the Fox; and the Antigallican, later the Royal Standard. Both detail the early references to the earlier […]
Bethnal Green pubs, postcodes etc.
I have spent the day adding postcodes to the Bethnal Green pubs on my site. There are rather a lot of pubs, and it all takes time. What I want to do is have a listing of all of the pubs on the site in each postcode, rather than area, or in the case of […]
London wiki & London pub history & London street directory
Lots of London, but which part of this should I concentrate on? I have just started to build my London wiki site, and this will link heavily into my London pub history site, which is rather excellent in some ways; although I think the pages are rather boring. Another important facet is to make the […]
Londonwiki
I think the title says it all. I have started on my biggest project so far. After spending 15 years building the pub history site, which is amazing, I am now starting the londonwiki site. Back to london wiki, there are just two partial pages, as I have added on my first day. I am not […]
Taverns and coffee houses in 1829 and London wiki
I have spent a few hours, actually, most of the day; adding links to an excellent list of 1829 taverns and coffee houses, hotels etc. It is all the early stuff which does not always correspond to a list of public houses. The years of research which have gone into the pub history site for […]
Wilderness lane – The Lion in the Wood
I have been searching for a census entry for this very early inn for some time. It is quite obvious once you find it, even if you missed it in the 1841 census previously. The Lion in the Wood Inn, or public house disappears around 1862 from directories, and I have records from as early […]
NogoLondon.com
The NogoLondon.com site is slowly being updated alongside my pub history site with lots of tidying up of old out of date content in the first instance, plus a a few pictures. This is a quick update so that I can confirm I am adding categories as I should be.
Another day in London & pub history & accessible rail travel
Another day in London & pub history & accessible rail travel Another day today was planned on spending some time in London. In fact, this was largely due to my lack of exercise. I am pleased to say that I managed about 15000 steps during my walk. I started on an Elizabeth line train into […]
