This is named as the William IV (or William Fourth) in directories of 1841 and later, and as the White Bear in the Sun Fire Office insurance records, and in 1809 and 1811. The name is only given as the Duke of Clarence in the 1839 Directory, in which year the same publican is at 1 Back Hill (which appears to be the same building) under the pub name George IV. *
