Mitre Arms

338 (139) Tunnel Avenue, Blackwell Lane

Greenwich

Above engraving by Barker, W Bligh, circa 1830. Probably showing the "White Hart" on the left. Mitre is centre.

Above photo 1967. Also showing the "White Hart" right.

Above photo circa 1980s. The poster on the building of the pub is advertising Mr. Buster Bloodvessel.

In 1869-70 the pub was part of a consortium who were advertising their goods of selling tea in response to grocers' selling beer and wine. (Click for further details.)

In 1891 census, the address is at Grafton Terrace. Earlier at 139 Tunnel Avenue. This pub is now closed and used as a nightclub.

Licensee Thomas Lowe was injured at the pub on 17th Oct 1940 from a bomb in WW2 and died the same day at St. Alfeg's Hospital. At the probate, he left his wife Bessie Lowe and Ena and Ernest Barrett the sum of £2545 in his will.

This pub has been changing name quite a bit during the 2000s. In 2011 it was known as "That," and I am informed that it has changed name again this time to "Studio."

Local knowledge required to keep up with this one, please.
