This Pub is Closed Long Term
Very old building with ship's beams dating from 1600s. The front part is modern - only 200 years old! It had its own brewery in late 1800s. Large skeleton of bird found in upstairs chimney. The upper part was hit by a Zeppelin in First World War.
The pub closed in 2015 when the publican of 30 years, Ronnie Hague, passed away. The building was immediately boarded up and is inhabited by property guardians. There is tremendous local interest and the pub is registered as an ACV by Hackney Council.
