The Gladstone was a beer on house, and opened ante 1869, at 37 Dean street. Compensation awarded by Compensation authority, prior to closure in 1911.
In 1901 the directory shows this address as being two doors from Martha street & station row. Latterly it is at the junction with Cornwall street. It is a chandlers shop by 1913.

My research suggests the LCTU (London Carmen's Trade Union) was active at the time and I wonder if there was a strong Irish connection to the union. That might explain why Patrick had his name shown as O'Donovan - the "O" had been dropped generations before leaving Ireland. *

My Great Grandfather, Augustus Williams was a beer house keeper. It appears that 1901 and 1911 records show him as beer keeper at The Gladstone, 37 Dean Street. I believe that after he died in 1913 his son Harry Williams took over the licence. My grand father, Frank Sheppard Williams was at the Foresters, Stepney ***

There is a break when Patrick Donovan is the licensee at this address. My great grandfather, Patrick Donovan, is listed in the Post Office Directory as a beer retailer at 37 Dean Street in 1910. There has always been a family history reference to Patrick running a pub before them emigrating to Australia and I have a photo of him standing outside The Gladstone, presumably taken in 1910, *
