Says it all. Web responsive design, and London pub history. I purchased a cheap phone via tesco to check out my sites on a mobile. It was a very bad idea, as the phone is shite, but I have found a rather good app, i.e. Sizzy So, for the past twenty four hours, I have […]

Fleet market, London pub history etc
I am totally amazed by the river Fleet, and looking forwards to visiting the new exhibition at the London Docklands museum at the end of May, 2019. After the river Fleet is boarded over, the Fleet market becomes Farringdon street – circa 1828. I use early pub history to describe some of this – I […]
London 1899 pubs and beer houses
In case you are not aware, I have a listing of all of the public houses and beer retailers for 1899, in London. That is 1899, not 1989, and it is a couple of years before Queen Victoria (1837 – 1901) ends her reign and passes the crown onto Edward VII (1902-1910); then it is […]
London 1836 Pigots pubs
This is one of the earlier pub listings on the pub history site for London, in 1836, and just prior to Queen Victoria being on the throne; so this would have been William IV on the throne (1830 to 1837). The first major census of the UK was in 1841, and every ten years subsequently […]
Turks Head, Butcher row & child poverty
I was adding new records for the Holdens 1811 directory, and came across an entry for the Turks Head, Butcher row in Ratcliff. I actually found quite a few early records for the same pub, and eventually added this to the site. This makes a good read, with sixty years at least of pub history. […]
Holdens directories of London in 1805 and 1811
I have a number of pages listing most of the publicans, licensees,wine & brandy merchants of London according to the Holdens directories of 1805 and 1811. These were achieved by literally working through each directory, and transcribing manually the entries I felt worth recording. There are a few entries which are not relevant to pub […]
Mourning Bush Tavern etc
I suffer with a belief in whether the pages I add to the sites are of any use to anyone. I guess I am just a bit knackered. The good news is I had an inspiration today, I spotted an anomaly (error), on one of the pages which led me to finding a rather excellent […]
London history & pub history
Well, I have a number of sites, as you may well know. My best site is of pub history, with about 50,000 pages – but it is not actually that good. It lists all of the pubs over a 200 year time span, excluding anything after 1944, except some modern listings. The problems are, it […]
London wiki & street directory & history
I continue my additions to the various sites I run. My current interest is in London history, and where I am going to visit every day shortly, when I get my 60+ London free travel pass, you have no idea how excited I am about getting this! I have also decided that my main site […]
London 1940 street directory updates
I continue to add entries to the London 1940 street directory, this will take some time. Here are a few more for S: I continue adding entries for all of the London site, either old pubs, or random updates. It’s what I do.
