Bethnal Green pub history index
Until at least 1855, this pub was called the Hosford Arms and I have seen a reference from 1889 to the “Hosford Arms, known as the Royal Cricketers”. **
A listing of historical public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in Bethnal Green, Middlesex - now in East London. The Bethnal Green, East London listing uses information from census, Trade Directories and History to add licensees, bar staff, Lodgers and Visitors.
