My family had The Angel in Lambeth Walk (SE11) from about 1973 to 1978. The
Licensees, my parents, were Danny and Patricia Stupple. The watercolour was
painted c.1975; possibly by the artist 'Richard Ballard' if memory is
correct. It is highly likely that he painted other pubs in the area, and
proper credit to the actual artist would be good. *
Peters and Lee (pop duo in the 1970's) appeared there several times whilst
we were there. Immediately to the rear of the pub was a flour storage
silo that occasionally used to blow its top and coat the whole area in a
dusting of white (if it happened now planes would be grounded, it was pretty
dramatic!). *
Later, my parents were at 'The
Royal Standard', in Hastings from 1978 to 1986. There was a serious
flood weeks after this (1986) whilst still on the premises. They were a
fantastic bunch of customers back then. *
1972 - 1978/Danny & Patricia Stupple/../../../.. ***
We held a talent competition in the Angel and the eventual winners were
Peters and Lee. The competition was held over a number of months and when
the final was held, their song 'Welcome Home' was top of the charts in the
same week as the final. You can imagine the crowds it attracted, the Lambeth
Walk was brought to a standstill as it was blocked solid.
It was rumoured that Joe Stone who was the governor of the pub in 1938, shot
himself in the cellar and it was haunted. But I was later told by someone
who knew him, that he took a pub in Knightsbridge somewhere and it was there
that he committed suicide.
I was also told by some of the older customers that Charlie Chaplin used to
perform in the Angel at one time and also the jazz pianist George Shearing
also played there.
I cannot verify the last two. ***
