If you could help that would be great!

Many were architecturally significant or adjacent to remarkable buildings. Can you imagine the characters who were their customers?

My dad used to play the piano in a lot of the pubs round Kings Cross, Hatton Garden, Islington. I search photos hoping to see him banging away on the piano and always someone would get up for a sing song. When i was a little girl he used to to play in The Kings Head, Cumberland Market, Regents Park Estate, as i lay in bed i could hear him. Those days it was the saloon bar and the public bar and sometimes a little offi (off license) where you took your R Whites bottles back for a few pennies and got a packet of crisps. It is so sad a lot of our london pubs are being turned into flats, so many memories. Thank you for keeping them alive.

Dunning, Richard Dunning was the son of a Soho Wine merchant. He ran the Pub and Livery yard from 1865 until his death in 1875, when his son Henry took over until he sold the freehold. The pub was then re- built in 1880. The sign across Angel Row says ” Livery & Bait Station” Bait, is Achaic for a short stop for refreshment during a journey.

My maternal grandfather was a riding master and ran his riding school from Angel Yard from 1918-1928. The Angel Inn was demolished and re-built in 1930, as the present day PH.
