Thanks for your co-operation.

Jacqueline Davies kindly writes to me who says she is interested in 17th century Greenwich and has been doing research from sources including a survey of East Greenwich Manor in a document titled "A survey of the Kings Lordship or Manor of East Greenwich in the County of Kent made by Samuel Travers 1695-97."

She kindly sends me the following information:- "White Hart" held by John Deane. In 1863 The White Hart is on Weller’s map, on what looks like the same space as the "Spread Eagle."

Looking at the current picture of the "Spread Eagle" I wonder whether they used to be next door to each other and were eventually knock through into one? I need a photo of this one to solve that, I think.

Steve Mortimore tells me the following:- "The picture dated circa 1930s with the the boy with his hands in his pockets is the part in Stockwell road (obviously a massive pub) this would be nearly opposite the "Spread Eagle" (a bit further up and on the other side of the road). The "White Hart" was directly opposite the "Mitre" pub. The pub was demolished around 1971. The area was left as a rough car park and a flea market for many years. (Between demolition and 1988).  The "Ibis Hotel" now stands on the site.

Above photo 2024, showing the Ibis Hotel and Cafe Rouge, built 1988 on the site of the "White Hart". Kindly sent by Steve Mortimore.
