Brunswick Tavern, 148 Old Kent Road, SE1 - in May 2008
Kindly provided by Stephen Harris
This is a pub built on the site of the The Brunswick
Tavern called originally "The Frog and Nightgown" and later became a
nightclub as shown in the picture with the name "Virgo's". The Frog and
Nightgown was built circa 1969 or early 70's. It was demolished a couple of
months ago in 2013. I am told flats are to be built on the site.
I believe it was named after the fictional pub in comedian Ted Ray's radio
show. I was also told that Ted Ray was to open the pub but did not for some
reason. *

Mr Harry Weeks, tenant at the
Magdala, Lordship Lane, East Dulwich for a number of years has decided
to retire from business. He has a long and honourable record in Truman's
trade.
Beginning in 1890, he acted as potman and barman at the
Dun Cow, in Old Kent Road, until 1895. This was
then a free house selling Truman's beers and was later purchased by the
company. Following another period as a barman at the
Princess of Wales, London Road,
Southwark, Mr Weeks became manager and licensee of the
Brunswick Tavern in the Old Kent Road.
He resided there from 1900 until 1907.
After a break of three years, Mr Weeks became the tenant of the
Claremont in Bermondsey,
until 1922, when he was accepted as the tenant of the Magdala.
Mr Weeks name was mentioned on the annual renewal day at the Newington Bench
as one of four who had either completed or were just completing 50 years as
a licensee under the Bench of Magistrates. (1949) ***
