I have only found the one reference to this establishment at present and that was in the Licensing Records of 1872 where it was stated the premises held a Beer License and was owned by (Messrs Truman Hanbury & Co) Robert Hanbury Charles Addington Hanbury Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton Bart: Edward North Buxton Arthur Pryor and Henry Villebois, Brick Lane Spitalfields London.

Further research tells me that it stood on the corner of Whitakker Street.

 

From the Black Eagle Journal.
