Mile End Pubs history
It is not named on any directories or census returns I've looked at, but is clearly named on the 1947 Ordnance Survey map. * Duckett street is earlier named Edward street up until about 1876, but this property is not listed in 1877 and there are no matching beer retailers listed in Edward street prior to this.

It would appear that Thomas Radford owned The Horn of Plenty; plus 8 &
10 Duckett Street as listed in the
Property ownership record of electors in 1905 albeit as mentioned earlier
Thomas died in 1882! ***
The reason I have mentioned this is because I have a copy of a solicitors
letter dated 1914 in respect of inheritance from Adah’s estate, this letter
mentions “The Black Horse and other premises Duckett Street, Stepney”. As I
have not found any mention of a pub called The Black Horse in Duckett
Street, maybe this was number 10?
