St Leonards Arms in the 1920s

I assume that one of the group in the attached
photograph is my Dad's uncle, Henry Sargeant, who married his aunt, Rose
Gadd, in 1900. All I can make out from the writing on the back of the photo
is what looks like the name "Mr Sargeant" and "Bow", . Henry was born in
Bromley-by-Bow and his marriage to Rose was registered in West Ham. I would
estimate the photo to be circa 1910-1920 and is most likely of a pub or off
license in Bow or Poplar.
The name T Magee is above the entrance and a Thomas Magee was listed
in the 1922 London Telephone Directory as living at the St Leonard's
Arms, St Leonard's Road E14. I can't be sure but I think I've found the
correct pub! However, as my photograph shows the ground floor and the
October 2007 shot shows the first floor there is still some doubt in my
mind. **
I've been puzzling over the 1920s Gary Douglas photo for a while now and have compared it to the existing St Leonards Arms, which is a much larger building. I wonder if this is actually an earlier Thomas Magee pub, The West Arms on Birchfield Street, E14 at the corner of the current Pinefield Close. Magee was there from 1915 to 1921. **+
