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.

My Great grandfather, John Asser, was landlord at the
Lord Nelson in 1891. His
brothers Samuel and Stephen had the Queens Hotel, Victoria Park and the
Royal Oak, Victoria Park. I have this information after researching my family
tree. Their father (I think) lived at 25 White Post Lane, Grange House, Bow
- The Lord Napier. ***
In 1901 census Samuel Asser was the landlord of The Queens Hotel, 274
Victoria Park Road.
If you are interested, attached is a picture of an R Whites bottle which
hung in the bar. It has a pear with whiskey in it. The pear may have been
grown in the orchard at the rear of the pub. ***
