H C Harrison, landlord of the Green Man, Old Kent Road, record of death on
January 10th, 1950 ***
1950/H C Harrison/../../../Black Eagle Journal ***
Another of my dad's pubs and we lived there until 1960. My father was Thomas
Arthur Crow who had earlier been at the
Turks Head, Bethnal Green.
More anecdotal evidence, the building next door used to be a Midland Bank,
on the dividing wall from the front to the back of the pub (saloon bar and
lounge) there were floor to ceiling beatiful ceramic tile pictures depicting
Robin Hood, Little John, Maid Marion, Friar Tuck and I think Will Scarlet
and others, they were really something to see and I understand they were
there from when the building went up. His last pub was at the
Railway Bell,
Mitcham. *
