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 […]
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The NogoLondon.com site is slowly being updated alongside my pub history site with lots of tidying up of old out of date content in the first instance, plus a a few pictures.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.
London trip for rail stations & pub history etc
I took a trip to London today, nothing planned, so lets see where we get to. I parked near to Hornchurch station on the District line, and proceeded towards London, stopping off at Dagenham east, Dagenham Heathway, Barking, and East Ham. Each time I exited the station, took a photograph of the external station and […]
London pub history – and an audit of the site
I have to say that the pub history site, mainly about London and the South East has been building for a number of years. I am currently 3.6 average in google for pub history, about 5,5 for London street directory, and 1.7 for London pub history; and therefore I am on track for having a […]
