Above map, date unknown, showing the following pub locations:- 1:- "King’s Arms" 2:- "Army and Navy" 3:- "Royal Marine" 4:- "King’s Head" 5:- "Grasshopper" 6:- "Dockyard Arms" 7:- "Dolphin" 8:- "Two Sawyers" 9:- "Bricklayer's Arms" A:- "Golden Lion" B:- "Navy Arms" C:- "Prince of Wales" D:- "Good Intent" E:- "Duke of York" F:- "Shipwright's Arms"

The pub was removed in the slum clearances and the license was transferred to the newly built "Flying Saucer" in Hempstead.

This pub is one in the list of my "Project 2014."

As such I have found a picture of the pub, but to date have no other information. Local knowledge, further pictures, and licensee information would be appreciated.

I will be adding the historical information when I find or are sent it, but this project is a very big one, and I do not know when or where the information will come from.

All emails are answered.
