My Great grandfather, John Asser, was landlord at the Lord Nelson. His
brothers Samuel and Stephen had the
Queens Hotel, Victoria Park and the
Royal Oak, Victoria Park. I have this information after researching my family
tree. Their father (I think) lived at 25 White Post Lane, Grange House, Bow
- The Lord Napier. ***
