1 New Road / Plumstead Road

Woolwich

Above photo, circa 1940.

Pigot's Directory of 1832 listed this under Inns.

I am informed that the pub closed in the 1970s due to being described as having an unsound structure by the then owners Courage and it was under a compulsory purchase order for road widening.
