I would like to ask to all you good people

when I was a kid, there was a pub on nunhead lane with a couple of benches outside

roughley opposite Ayres the bakers,

It was a flat fronted pub, nothing special, Not the pyrotechnists or the Nuns head or tyrrell

The crown comes to mind, but not that, My husband as a boy spent many, Saturday afternoons

perched on one of the benches whilst his mum and dad had a drink.

He is 70, now, and we cannot find the name of this pub anywhere, not on dead pubs.

We are racking our brains

Any memories anyone?

thankyou

Thankyou Rich and Sue

this was not the Duke formally Duke of Edinburgh

or Man of Kent. It would probably be originally a beer house.

I am sure it was there up to the 60's, there has been a bit of demolition opposite Ayres

may have been there or a few shops down going towards Evelina road

but it was between Gordon rd and Kimberley Ave but not as far as kimberley

I remember it, had a couple of beer barrels against the wall for tables or decoration. And two long benches

where you dumped your kids, whilst having a drink, It was not a pub that encouraged you to go at night

it was more of an old man or thirsty shoppers place.

Cannot find it at all on any the pub sites, it was painted white flat fronted.

Wasn't the Prince Albert in Bellenden Road, just down from The Wishing Well (which became The Victoria Inn)?

Kelly's Post Office London Directory used to be published every year with a list of businesses for every street. No idea if any of these are still available (libraries or online, maybe?). I've just dug out a 1982 version from the attic but there's nothing to add to previous posts by way of pubs etc. There's a 'Kegs (Beers and Minerals) Ltd' listed at No. 18 Nunhead Lane, on the south side, but I can't imagine this would be what the OP was referring to as 1982 is a bit too recent.

The London Metropolitan Archives had a good set of hard copies last time I went, and they've a collection of digital images that might be worth searching: https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/london-metropolitan-archives/Pages/search.aspx. Leicester University has an online collection of digital directories: https://www2.le.ac.uk/library/find/specialcollections/az/historical-directories. Southwark Local History Collection seems low on directories: https://southwark.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/REFSET/WPAC/BIBENQ/198609518?QRY=SHF%3A%20%27.%20DIRECTORIES%20.%27&SQL=&QRYTEXT=Form%2FGenre%3A%20Directories&QFT=SHF&QFV=Directories.

No it wasn't the Anchor

and just realised Evelina road starts at Ayres

this was on the other side to Ayres. and if you threw a stone you would hit the pub

if you know what I mean

Southwark's maps show a rectangle intruding on to the pavement at the front of nos 116 ,opposite Ayres .


I've no idea what this represents - did nos 116 enjoy the right of use of the pavement at the front ? Is this where the benches on which dumped children sat ?


Any memory of the pub sign lameduck - hanging ? projecting from frontage ? flat on frontage ?

I think it was painted in the fabric of the building, you are in the right place

painted white 2 long benches flat front

unintersting, and they did use the bench space, they were tight against the building, not a great deal of pavement

there, i think it vanished in the 70's

thank you ever so

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
