My relative is Robert Henry Thompson (b 21 may 1852) who was manager in the
1901 & 1911 census and is shown living there as manager with his wife Mary
Ann Young; His son Robert John Thompson, born 17 mar 1889 is the one listed
in 1919.
Another son listed the hotel as his address and occupation barman in WW1,
that was Frank Radley Thompson.
I believe that Charlotte S Young and Mary Ann who was Robert Henry Thompsons
wife were sisters & both born in Leytonstone. ***

I�m the current Publican for the above site and have been so since 1996. I
am currently researching the building for possible planning and historical
protections. So far I have discovered that it was originally one of five
pubs on this road and started life as a beer house. I have yet to find out
its original build date although from other building info I suspect it was
1863, being substantially rebuilt in 1890 by the Holloway Bros, to designs
by Kerslake & Mortimer Architects. The Holloway Bros also built Albert
Bridge o the Thames and the most recent remodelling of the Bank of England.
