Thomas Ennor was a builder of some note in the Victorian East End. He was
born in 1815 in St. Agnes near Truro in Cornwall as was his wife Jane. By
1855 he was established as a carpenter at 38 Hardinge Street near Commercial
Road, though by 1857 he is described in the trade directory of that year as
"builder and contractor". By 1859 while retaining the Hardinge Street
premises he had expanded into premises south of the River at Vauxhall
Gardens and to 2, Marine Place, Commercial Road. The 1861 census shows him
residing at 2, Marine Place with his wife Jane. By 1865 they were residing
at 4, St. Agness Terrace, Victoria Park in a development he had built
himself and named after his birth place. By 1870 his business operations
were conducted from 1, Devonshire Place, later 242, Commercial Road. He died
in 1875. Buildings he built include the Queens Hotel, South Hackney in
1865./ Access to Archives.

My Great grandfather, John Asser, was landlord at the
Lord Nelson in 1891. His
brothers Samuel and Stephen had the Queens Hotel, Victoria Park and the
Royal Hotel, 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. ***
In 1901 census Samuel Asser was the landlord of The Queens Hotel, 274
Victoria Park Road.
If you are interested, attached is a picture of an R Whites bottle which
hung in the bar. It has a pear with whiskey in it. The pear may have been
grown in the orchard at the rear of the pub. ***
