A rare view of the two(!) Rose & Crown pubs on SN Church Street/Albion Road in the early 1930s. The present building was built following junction widening, which resulted in the demolition of the old pub, which as can be seen, still stood by the time the new pub was completed

Mashup: The original Rose & Crown, Stoke Newington Church Street/Albion Road. The present building was built following junction widening in the early 1930s, which resulted in the demolition of the old pub.

The Allen Arms, Allen Road near Nevill Road, Stoke Newington. The pub was converted to residential property. There were 45 pubs in Stoke Newington in the late 19th century. Almost all were in or south of Church Street. Half closed over the decades.

Architectural drawing of the Rose & Crown pub, showing how it was originally divided into a number of sections accessed from 5 doors (only one door is in use today). The pub was rebuilt opposite its original where Askew is today when the junction was widened in 1931.

The Rose & Crown at its original location opposite the current one. The pub was rebuilt across the street on the west side of Albion Road in 1931 when the junction was widened.

Stoke Newington High Street. On the right is T. B. Stephen's; a large 3-storey department store. It closed in 1973 and the building was demolished in 1983. On the left at 2 Stamford Hill is the former Weaver’s Arms pub (1826-1953). The former pub building is now flats and a shop.

My first attempt at digitally restoring the Rose & Crown pub sign. It was installed in 1931 when the pub was rebuilt and originally had: Green background Gold lettering Red rose Gold crown Black frame

The Albion Hotel, 2 Clissold Road. It was later a pub. The building was converted to flats when the pub closed.

Came across these ‘Saloon’ signs in Holborn and Covent Garden (former pub). A remnant of a time when pubs were partitioned into different rooms with separate entrances. The Three Crowns has its original “Saloon Lounge” sign. Most pubs lost the signs that were at each entrance.

The Black Bull pub, 192 Stoke Newington High St opposite the Three Crowns. The pub closed many years ago and the ground floor is now KFC.

@HenleyAdam @chas_dave Here’s the former pub building today

The Albion Hotel and Public House, 2 Clissold Road. The pub closed years ago and is now residential.

The Rose & Crown in Stoke Newington Church Street/Albion Road. The pub was demolished and a new was built across the street in 1931 when the junction was widened. The Victorian building replaced an older wooden coaching inn that was there for centuries.

This is one the few photos that offer a glimpse of the Flacon pub, which was at 151 Stoke Newington Church St opposite St Mary’s Primary School. The pub closed about 100 years ago and the ground floor was converted to shops. The former pub building was pulled down in the 60s.

The Golden Lady pub, 2 Clissold Road opposite Albion Road in 1988. The pub closed and converted to flats.

The old Manor House Tavern on the corner of Green Lanes/Seven Sisters Road, Stoke Newington. The pub was rebuilt in 1931 when Manor House Tube Station was built. The pub closed and the building is now shops.

Then & Now: The old and the rebuilt Manor House Tavern (b. 1931). The pub closed and converted to shops. In the 60s acts including Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, the Animals and the Spencer Davis Group played upstairs at the Bluesville…

The Angel pub in Bermondsey also has partitions between the former pub sections (No idea if they are original or recreations). The Shakespeare in Allen Road still has the frame of a partition an an infill in the bar where a different one once was, similar to that in the Angel.

The Manor House Tavern in Green Lanes/Seven Sisters Road, Stoke Newington. The pub was converted to shops after it closed.

Subsidence in Stoke Newington Church Street in the 50s near Barn Street. No. 153 (Now Nook) on the right. Next to it is the former Falcon pub building that was converted to two shops after the pub closed.

I was chuffed yesterday when someone brought to the Stoke Newington History pop-up event and his beautiful family photo from 1936 showing the function room in the Manor House Tavern, one of Stoke Newington’s 22 ‘ghost’ pubs. The pub was rebuilt in 1931. It was converted to shops.

@BeardyHowse @dogandpot ever seen a prism/vent combo like this one? Came across it outside a former pub in Islington at 2-6 Cloudesley Road. I’ve seen many vented or prism coalhole covers over the years, but never a hybrid model like this one. (@LBrad)

Stoke Newington High St. The Weavers Arms pub is on the right at 2 Stamford Hill/Cazenove Rd. The pub closed in the 1950s and the ground floor has been a shop ever since.

The Golden Lady pub, 2 Clissold Road opposite Albion Road in 1988. Originally named The Albion Hotel. The pub closed and converted to flats.

@threecrownsn16 You can see here that in the late 19th century, the rebuilt Victorian pub was just on the corner on the site of the original pub. The extensive extension into Church St was possibly during the Edwardian period, but the rebuilt pub building was already there.

A rare view of the two(!) Rose & Crown pubs in SN Church St/Albion Rd in the early 1930s. The present building was built following junction widening, which resulted in the demolition of the old pub, which as can be seen, still stood by the time the new pub was completed.

Just came across footage (24min) from 1992 of a gig in the Albion pub in 2 Clissold Road. The pub closed and converted to flats and this is the only footage I’m aware of showing the interior of the pub. It’s mostly dark but it’s better than nothing! https://t.co/698P5DiQxE

One of few views that show the long-gone Falcon pub in 151 Stoke Newington Church St opposite Barn Street, where Gujarat House gated development is now. The pub closed in the 1920s, not long after this photo was taken. Barclay brewery sign just about visible.

The Rolling Stones played in the Manor House pub in north Stoke Newington in the 1960s as did Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, the Yardbirds, the Animals and the Spencer Davis Group. A plaque on the former pub building is long overdue.

'Queen Victoria halted here 25th October 1843'. A tablet on the side of the old Manor House Tavern in Stoke Newington. The Queen travelled by carriage from Windsor to Cambridge via Seven Sisters Rd. Built in the 1830s, the pub was rebuilt in 1931. It’s now shops and flats.

50s ad for the Clarence Tavern in Stoke Newington Rd on the corner of Shacklewell Rd (formerly Wellington Rd). The pub was demolished as part of the development of Somerford Estate on a bomb site. The new estate pub on the corner of Somerford Grove was named The Caledonian.

The former Weavers Arms pub in 2 Stamford Hill/Cazenove Road. The pub closed in the 1950s and the ground floor has been a retail unit since. The building underwent significant renovation a few years ago. Sadly, no trace it was ever a pub.

@LAnderson_Frank @soxgnasher I thought initially it may have been here but the former pub on the left, which is Victorian doesn’t fit. Not that uncommon for photos to be incorrectly catalogued. Or it could be a different Boleyn Rd and someone assumed it was the one in Dalston.

RT @soxgnasher: Arundel Arms, 148 Boleyn Road, Stoke Newington N16 This pub was demolished in 2013.

The Black Bull pub, 192 Stoke Newington High St. The ground floor was converted to a shop after the pub closed in the 1950s. It's now KFC.

I had a great time this evening giving a 40-minute talk in a packed Red Lion about the pub's long history, as part of 'Red Lion Fest,' an event hosted by the pub to mark 100 years since the current building was constructed, after the 17th-century pub was demolished due to road w…

Ever wondered what this former pub on Nevill Road in Stoke Newington looked like?

Ever noticed the only relic of this former pub in Stoke Newington Road?

Did you know there used to be a pub on the corner of Howard Road and Spenser Grove? #stokenewington #stokenewingtonhistory #hackneyhistory #londonhistory #localhistory #hiddenlondon #microhistory #historyfacts

Did you know there used to be a pub on the corner of Howard Road and Spenser Grove? The decline in the number of pubs in Stoke Newington mirrors a broader national trend and is not specific to the area. Across the UK, there were around 90,000 pubs in 1925, falling to 75,000 by t…
