I have been building a truly remarkable site about London history for some years. Well, I think so. The site started with an update to an Essex pub history site, then I began to add bits of London, and its pub history. Then I slowly added large swathes of the rest of the country, but […]

Woolwich pub history
I choose an area to update as I see fit. Woolwich pub history came to my attention as being in need of a little TLC. Two days of updates so far, which is a lot. Woolwich. It is only 40 minutes away on the train (West Ham, then DLR to Arsenal), so expect a visit […]
The new pub history and pub wiki site
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 I did make this move recently, then rescinded it, but have now made the move for good.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 […]
