Lost East End Pubs

[Al 10000]

In the mid to late 80s i went in quite a few pubs in Londons East End,most were in Bethnal Green,Mile End or Hackney.

I have been looking for these pubs on the site but lots seem to be missing,i took phot's of some of these lost pubs but they are on the old 110 film and i am unable to get them on disc.

Here are four pubs that i could not find on the site

Duke of Sussex Shepherd Neame tied house 94 goldsmith row Bethnal Green Pub visited 21/11/1987
Durham Arms Watney tied house,no real ale here, 408 hackney road Bethnal green Pub visited 21/11/1987
The Hare Ben Truman tied house Real ales on the bar, 505 cambridge heath road Bethnal Green Pub visited 21/11/1987
Rose and Crown Youngs tied house, 13/15/mare street, Hackney, Pub visited 21/11/1987

There are loads more pubs i have done in this area of London but most were not photographed.

I would be very interested if anyone knows of these pubs or has even been in them.

Cheers Alan

Al The Hare is here.

The Rose and Crown 13 -15 Mare Street still has a pub frontage but is closed.It's close to the canal,so I can pop up and photograph that as well.I dont normally submit closed pubs but if that helps you I will do so.Also never been inside.

There is a pub at 94 Goldsmiths Row now called The Albion,owned by a Baggies fan.Popular real ale pub,sadly unvisited by me.

Here is the Durham Arms.

Thanks for those Bucking Fastard and Strongers,

I did'nt think of looking at Cambridge Heath i was just looking at the Bethnal Green and Hackney lists,the Albion is definatly the ex Duke of Sussex.

I will have to chuck a few more pubs into the pot that i dont know about as it did not take long for both of you to sort the first four pubs out.

Do you have any ideas about how to get old 110 negatives onto disc,i have asked at Asda and they dont have the right sized machines to do it.

Cheers Alan

[Strongers]

I found these.

[Al 10000]

I found these.

Thanks for that Strongers,they look very interesting,just got to save some money now and get one,all of my spare cash goes on pub crawls.

If i do ever get one there will be some very interesting photo's appearing on Pubs Galore.

Cheers Alan

Al10000 just discovered that this pub IS on pubsgalore but under a previous name The Cambridge .There is still a plaque on the wall bearing this name,and the post office website does list 13 Mare Street as being the address of The Cambridge,even though the pub is closed .It seems that the old name lives on ,and that is how it has been listed here.It is unreviewed ,so a historic note from you may well be worthwhile.Hope this helps.

It's not a previous name in my recollection.
It was renamed the Cambridge in 1998. There were a group of Young's pubs in East London that they leased from Whitbread at some point prior to the mid 1970s. This was one of them and I assume it became the Cambridge when the lease expired. I only knew it as the Rose and Crown (from the mid 1970s).

Apparently Enterprise got their oar in before it closed (which probably explains it).


I heard a story that Young's swapped the Prince(ss) of Wales from Whitbread for the Black Horse at Gomshall. The last time I passed by the Black Horse it was a glorified Fish and Chip shop! It is now closed, good work Whitbread!!
