This is listed as 52 & 54 Holloway Road in 1892, 1895 and 1899. In 1869,
number 52 is listed as "Highbury Brewery", while number 54 is the "beer
retailer", so presumably the brewery was at 52 and the tap was next door at
number 54. *
The pub has been recently renamed Barcosa. It has
had several names in recent years, most notably the Flounder & Firkin. In
1871, if correct, it is a beer house called The lamb. Renamed the Lamb in
2012.***

perhaps across the road?
