Aldersgate pubs history index
Originally called the White Hart, at 1 Goswell Street in
1856 & earlier; but changed its name to the Corner Pin between around 1862
and 1900, before reverting to the White Hart. I don't think that the
pub survived WWII, although I am not sure. On 23 April 1964 a new pub opened
on this site at 2 Goswell Road, which remains open today and is called the
Shakespeare - recalling the pub of that name that used to stand 50
yards up the road at No. 44. **
