I am looking for photos taken in 1930’s-1940’s.

I also liked looking at the Persil and Rowntree’s jelly advertisements beside the Three Crowns Mile End Road, along with the pub’s perfectly draped net curtains. And here’s to the future of the Still and Star!

Shocking.

Although I have never lived in London (the only member of my family born outside) I come from a long line of East Enders on my father’s side.

We had Bushell’s Brewery, but my father tells me it was gambled away one night on one bet by his grandfather, who spent most Saturday nights in the West End, drinking his own produce. My father didn’t drink…

Rowland Hirst (the brother of my great great grandfather) was the publican here in 1879 and that he still had the licence in 1908 when he was Mayor of Stepney. By then he had many other pubs and also had homes in Wanstead (where he was proprietor of ‘The Eagle’) and in Herne Bay. Unfortunately, in 1908 Rowland Hirst was found guilty at the Old Bailey of conspiracy and corruptly soliciting and receiving gifts. He was sentenced to two years hard labour and a £250 fine. Rowland Hirst died in 1923 leaving over £10,000 in his will.
