Pretty sure it was the George and Dragon Moby.The road changed it's name in 1938 from Bishops Road to Bishops Way.Originally Posted by Mobyduck
Cheers Wild Rover, I cant find a record a pub at that address though,I did find an entry here for beer retailers, Albt Hy Wood 15 Bishops Way E2 in 1944 ,also mention of Woodheads Cannonbury Brewery Ltd. But nothing in the 1944 pubs directory,the only pub mentioned in this street is the Prince of Wales at number 76, now a private residence. The only George and Dragon I found in the area was here at 2 Hackney Road.
I am not losing any sleep over this , it was just a passing whim that then lead me to spending a couple of hours delving through London pub history, It can become addictive.
