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.

Old Chelsea Bun Shop, Grosvenor Square, St George Hanover Square

St George Hanover Square pub history index

"The Old Chelsea Bun Shop", is where the original recipe for the Chelsea Bun, which became a particular favourite of King George II, who apparently would visit personally. Technically the road is in Pimlico, however they clearly had some savvy in regard to marketing and decided that a "Chelsea bun" was a better selling tag than "Pimlico bun" !  This road was later renamed to Pimlico Road ***

Please support a campaign for Bangladesh, which will add a few pence to a piece of clothing emailing these companies who wish to see people dieing without decent rights, and also stop shopping in  these places - thank you. E.g. Debenhams, Gap and ASDA (Walmart). I will remove the companies names when they sign up to a fair deal for the workers in Bangladesh
