Note that census returns place this pub in Blackheath (Lewisham) rather than Greenwich. *
This area of Greenwich is honeycombed with underground caverns left behind after chalk mining centuries before.
In 1997 the cellar roof collapsed and the pub was closed. In 2002 a large section of roadway outside the pub, on Blackheath Hill collapsed too.
The pub was demolished in 2004 and replaced with flats. **

John David Baggarley (born 1830 died 1903); was at the Tankard, 178 Walworth
Road in 1869; the Star,
101 Walworth Road in 1871; and owned the
Queen Adelaide, 74 Beckenham Road, Penge from about 1875.
John is at the Horse & Groom, 60 Blackheath
Hill in 1900. His brother George is at the
Hand in Hand, 37 Arch
Street, Newington by 1869; and later at the
King Henry VIII, 35
King Henry Street, Islington by 1881.
John is known to have owned the Queen Adelaide from circa 1875 which he sold to
the Noakes Brewery in November 1882 for the sum of £2,200.00. However as part of
the sale he leased the pub for 31 years for a rent of £84.00 per annum. Research
however shows he did not stay in residence as the 1891 census shows one Arthur
Clark as publican living with his family. It appears John had sub-let the Queen
Adelaide to Arthur Clark as he is known to have been publican at the Horse &
Groom. ***

The 1911 census entry shows Elizabeth as aged 42, but married for 40 years, so the age is incorrect.
