The Angel and Crown Pub originally stood on the opposite corner of Smart Street and Roman Road at No 180. In 1951/2 it was relocated at 170 Roman Road under the new block of flats called Chater House. ***
The landlord at the time was Cyril Trowbridge who ran the pub with his wife Helen known as Nellie. They ran both the old and the new pub until 1964. I know this information is correct as it was the family’s local. ***
Prior to taking over the Angel and Crown in 1950 Cyril was the landlord at The Railway Tavern at 131 Globe Road, Bethnal Green from 1946 to 1949. ***
