Have you ever run a Pub? You can add your pub history to the UK pub history site. You can contact the pub history site via my email : Kevan. There are over 10,500 images on the site and more than 47,000 pages of pub history - these numbers increase every day as I add new pub history research. The pub history site has now been evolving for more than ten years, with a significant number of additional pub history researchers who regularly update the site with historical detail and imagery, old and new.
This is a local search engine of the UK Pub history site. You can search by surname, street address, or public house name. The search engine updates weekly. If you are looking for a specific pub history listing, some of these can only be found in the sitemap - see the navigation bar on the left.

Given that I have evidence that George Needham was certainly a licensed
victualler and was born in 1796 in Bethnal Green I am now certain, thanks to
you, that my great great great grandfather, George Needham, was the publican
of the Hare in 1848, and the Norfolk Arms in
1843. He would have been 52 at the time. He would not show up
at the Hare in the 1851 census because he was visiting his son Joseph at the
"Prince of Wales",
Buxton Street, Mile End. This would be about a fifteen minute walk from the
Hare in North Bethnal Green. Also he was retired by the 1861 census and
living in Leyton and would have left the Hare by this time. *

Charles Alfred James Yeo & Mrs Yeo, licensee of the Hare, Cambridge Heath Road - in 1949
Kindly provided by Alex Wilkinson
Charles Alfred James Yeo, licensee of the Hare, Cambridge Heath Road, Bethnal
Green, has been associated with Truman's for 42 years. On September 18th, 1907,
he became the landlord of the Black Horse, Abbey
Street (now Buckfast Street) when he was 21 years of age, one of the
youngest ever to hold a licence.
After service with the R.A.S.C. in the 1914 - 18 War, during which time Mrs Yeo
gallantly carried on, Mr Yeo returned to the Black Horse and stayed there until
1928, when he moved to his present house, the Hare.
It was difficult to persuade Mr Yeo to talk about his life, although he did
admit to a keen interest in sport during his early years.
Mr and Mrs Yeo have been happily married for over forty years and, having met
them both, it is easy to understand the reason for their happiness; they are two
very pleasant and human people. ***
