243 Tunnel Avenue (Blackwell Lane 1866)

Greenwich

Above photo 1960s just showing the pub on the left in background, to the right of the busses.

Above photo showing close-up circa 196os.

Above photo date unknown, by Ian Chapman.

Situated right opposite the tower to the Blackwall Tunnel, the pub opened in 1860 but is now (2018) closed, date unknown, and the premises is selling car spare parts.

Project 2014 has been started to try and identify all the pubs that are and have ever been open in Kent. I have just added this pub to that list but your help is definitely needed regarding it's history.

As the information is found or sent to me, including photographs, it will be shown here.

Thanks for your co-operation.
