Hackney pub history Index
By the 1882 Directory, the address is given as 25, 27 & 29 Downham Road, but despite being named as the Sir Robert Peel in the 1851 census return, this seems to have been more of a beer bottler and merchant by at least 1871, if not for its entire existence. The address is 7 Downham Road in 1856 and earlier, prior to street renumbering, and is given as 8 Downham Cottages in the 1861 census. *
