I have moved the pub history site to pub wiki, i.e. pubwiki.co.uk for a number of reasons, including the fact I like the name. Currently, there are now 58 thousand pages, and probably 10 thousand plus images on the site. Apart from this, the advertising revenues from adsense are still about £1 a day, and […]

The latest on the pub wiki
Well, I spent the day in London visiting the Northern part of the Jubilee line, from Baker street to Stanmore. That was quite interesting. I chose the least accessible part of the Jubilee line, as every station south of Baker street gets an accessible symbol. I stopped when I was at Bond street, as one […]
The new pub wiki
I am a bit of an idiot, I know. But hey ho. The pub history site is about to move over a period of a few days, to my pub wiki site. Sorry about all of the links I am about to break. I should not start this late at night, but it is when […]
Islington pub updates – Hope & Anchor, 42 Barnsbury grove, Islington N7
I continue my updates for Islington pub history. I was tracing the Northern line along for my accessible transport site, this means visiting each station one at a time and taking some meaningful photographs of accessibility features, steps, gaps, raised platforms, step-free access, elevators, lifts, more steps, steps into waiting rooms, steps into the station […]
Hackney pubs & life generally
Lets start with Hackney. I have continued working through the 1901 census for Hackney pub history, and re-checked and re-ordered the lists into some form of sense, and added a number of additional licensed premises to the site – most are off licences, but hey ho! I will spend a day in London tomorrow, and […]
Hackney pub history for 1901
Lots of updates for Hackney in 1901. I have been working through the entirety of the 1901 census of Hackney South East and South West. Only one new name, the Royal George at 1 Norfolk road, the rest are very useful updates. Kevan
Hackney 1861 census additions & updates
I have a rather select band of people who update this site. I do all of the actual updating of content, so it is maybe, not an United effort of a band of people. This rather excellent small group send me their details via quite an outdated fashion of communication, email. Anyway, Vincent sent me […]
London beer houses in 1899 & 1910 updates
I have spent a little (lot) of time adding beer retailers and beer houses to the pub history site, as have many of the people who have helped me update this site as a truly wonderful site about pub history. I know it looks boring, but I think it is a wonderful masterpiece about these […]
London pub history – how much better can it get?
I deride my pub history sites as being incredibly boring,as they just list a few licensees, etc. I am so wrong. I have been updating the pub history and other areas with pub history for a number of years. The detail is not generally modern, and is of little interest to the youth who are […]
Grimsby pub history
Yes, you are correct, Grimsby is a long way from London, on the north east coast of Lincolnshire, the Humber estuary, and a sea port with quite a history in fishing. Here are some of my updates for the pubs history in Grimsby, certainly pre-1935 back to about 1826, with some links to Barking. A […]
