Bethnal Green pub history index
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.
In 1805, there are two entries as noted in later records. At 83 Church Street in 1869 & earlier. Named the Jolly Weavers in the Era transfer of licenses in 1865 and 1870. In the 1861 census, the Blade Bone is clearly listed as the Three Jolly Weavers at this same address.
It originally opened in 1823, and was rebuilt after the second world war. It closed as a pub in 1999 and the premises are now in use as a restaurant (2006). ** Situated at the junction with Satchwell Road, east side, this pub was demolished in 2016 to make way for housing. ***

What I am now attempting to achieve is the coverage of an earlier London
street directory in 1832. This is unique, plus
images of the 1842 Robsons directory which confirm earlier entries and also
carry much more trade detail about a premises or person. Here is the index of streets in 1832, many with
1842 imagery added.
And next is the complete 1940 London street directory - this will take some months to complete, so bear with me!
