The first and only time that this is named the Forresters Arms is in 1931 to about 1940 in the BT telephone directories. It is also known as the Corner Pin, and could either have been known locally by both names, or this was the original name. ***

My grandparents were Ernest and Alice Holford. Ernest was licensee of the
Palmerston Arms on Well Street, Hackney. In the 1911 census he is registered
at the pub as the manager. He bought it not long after at about the time of
his marriage in 1913. My father was born in the Palmerston Arms (he was very
proud of that fact!); and that his parents owned the pub. Ernest was
divorced in 1923 and moved on. According to the phone books, Ernest Holford
was 'licensed victualler' of the
Bishop Bonner on
Bonner Street in 1924. From 1925 to 1929 he is listed as the 'licensed
victualler' at 113 High Street, E9 - the
Forester's Arms. He is not
in the phone book in 1930 or 1931 but I'm certain he stayed at that pub
until his death in 1931 at the age of 47. ***
