St Martins pub history index
This pub is now demolished. In 1779 to 1819, this pub was called the Coachmakers Arms and in 1826 to 1851, the Old Coachmakers Arms. **
To be precise, in 1832 and 1842 are listed the New Coachmakers Arms at 96 Long acre and the Old Coachmakers Arms at 97 Long acre. I will list both of these here. The Enterprise is first named by 1856.
