So sad to see many of these pubs gone and the interiors ripped out to make cheap shops. I would love to see an old picture of the Lord Tredegar on Lichfield Rd, E3

The London pubs I remember from the eighties, were high ceilinged imposing affairs, usually scrupulously clean, with a loud, often threatening clientele. Hard men and women who didn’t take to strangers kindly, unless you met a kind drunk. The girls were top notch but jealously guarded by their boyfriends. One look in the wrong direction and it was time to quaff up and rapidly go!

Really good pics, depicting a time lost forever.

When I was studying history at Queen Mary 30 years ago the mature students drank in The Globe on Mile End Road. My husband studied chemistry at Queen Mary in the late 70s and early 80s, the chemistry undergrads drank in The Fountain.

I would love to see pictures of The Star which was at the bottom of Planet St, off Commercial Rd. It’s address was actually in Morrs St. On one side of it was Star Place. Planet St had formerly been known as Star St before a name change in the 19th c.

The Star was where Martha Tabram drank. ( possibly a victim of J the R)

I remember this ph and the streets around it as a child before it was all swept away in the 1960s presumably without any photographic record beng made. Unless somene knows any different.
