This site is a modern link to the deadpubs site.
I have to thank the East London & City CAMRA for all their assistance in updating the sites, in particular to Stephen Harris.
So far, there are more than two thousand and two hundred pubs from the directory for 1971 in and around London - this continues to increase every day; the pubs are listed by the modern postcode rather than my usual complicated style of by church parish (it's good to be different). A plan is to cover the same for the rest of the South of the UK on the pubsinUK site which is awaiting the first updates. I have also altered the 1944 London Pubs listing by postcode rather than A - Z. The pubs link to a historical version of the pub, pictures and landlords etc. It often also shows address changes through time.
I am also using the site listings supplied by Keith Emmerson of the East London & City CAMRA.
London EC1 - EC4 & E1 - E18
Three pubs I have enjoyed many times in the past - two are Youngs, one is Shepherd & Neame. Clue: Barts hospital, South Weald and Hackney hospital.
I would also be interested in contacting other London CAMRA groups who can assist in supplying additional lists. alternatively, I will create all listings myself. The deadpubs site currently is the only unique site which lists all of the thousands of pubs, and beer retailers in the London 1944 directory.
A directory of thousands of London public houses, Taverns, Inns, Beer Houses and Hotels in London in 1944, 1971, 1983 and 1991. The site is not just aimed at the many public houses which still exist, or have existed over the years. This is an alternative view of London over the past 200 years, using pubs as a means of mapping the London street directory. The modern postcode system is confusing, but it does group large areas into a common band. Historically, I list pubs according to their placement according to the parish church, as is listed in the earlier census which existed in 1911 and earlier.
What I am yet to do is move forwards, to today in 2012, when the breweries have renamed many of the pubs to the modern theme pubs, or they have closed or become a Chinese / Pizza restaurant. This is not just a modern listing of pubs, and never will be. It is a London historical street directory.
The deadpubs site currently lists nearly forty thousand pages of detail on pubs (old and new) around the South of England. It does not list just dead pubs, and as mentioned already; it is a historical street directory of London and the south of England.
