Well, it has finally happened. I have moved my pubs history site for the last time, for the time being, to the pubwiki.co.uk site. I did make this move recently, then rescinded it, but have now made the move for good. I am also working through each London pub history page and making sure that […]

Random pub history blog post
I have actually cancelled this blog and the relevant web site url, but as it is still working, why not post a bit of stuff about the many changes on the pub history sites. I have been suffering with reduced revenue from advertising to cover the costs of running this site, I spend about £60 […]
Battersea, Clapham & London suburban areas
I continue my pub history updates for Battersea, which have been monumental to say the least. All of the Battersea 1871 census added, and earlier records too. But, I am still missing some of the 1851 pubs which existed. I thought I would try out some of the areas nearby to see if I could […]
pub history in Victorian London
I guess I need to clarify what I know, and what is insignificant to my knowledge. I do know lots of pubs are continually closing, and others are opening, e.g. Wetherspoons and the like. I also know I don’t really have a lot of knowledge about pub history since 1944, which is quite a long […]
Advertising on the pub history wiki site
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
