I assume that they took over the �Lady Coborn� (740 Old Ford Road, Bow E3)
in the 1928 but I do not have the transfer deed. I do however have them
leaving the Lady Coburn on the 24th May 1934. They then moved to the �Duke
of Edinburgh� 73, Devons Road Bow E3 on 7th June 1934 where they stayed
until the pub was demolished by a bomb during the war. Mary Esther Davis was
a Taylor Walker Ladies Darts champion. The previous incumbent was a Mr Henry
Charles Robson. *+
