Wharf near the Pier
Lower Charlton
The only reference I have found so far for this pub is in the Pigot's
Directory of 1832. Further research has shown the following burglary in 1846
and a flooding in 1850, suggesting that the premises was situated near the
river Thames on the Wharf near the Pier

Daring Burglary.
On Sunday night, or early on Monday morning, some thieves affected
and entrance into the house of Mr. J. W. Hawes, the "Marquis of
Wellington," New Charlton, and stole therefrom between 3 and 4
pounds in gold and silver. They first broke one of the kitchen
windows, and having undone the hasp, threw up the frame, and went
upstairs to the housekeeper's room. They took down her gown from the
foot of the bed, and having taken the money from the pocket of the
gown, made their escape without alarming the inmates.

The Daily News, Saturday, August 28th, 1858.
Woolwich.
Mr. Harrington, a very extensive owner of house property at Woolwich
and Charlton, appeared to answer a summons to show cause why he
refused to pay £3 12s due to surveyor's fees and other expenses,
incurred in the process of condemning premises belonging to him, and
which had been taken down by a magistrates order under the
provisions of the Dilapidated Buildings Act.
Mr. Reeve, surveyor to the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police
appeared to support the claim, which was disputed by the defendant
as excessive and illegal.
The case occupied the attention of Mr. Traill for a long time, and
the details are briefly as follows:- The defendant was summoned with
respect to a public house known as the "Marquis of Wellington," at
Charlton, the walls of which were starting stated to be in a
dangerous condition. The defendant disputed this allegation, and the
summons were adjourned for additional evidence. The commissioners,
in order to sustain the summons, called in the aid of an additional
surveyor, whose fees amounted to £2 2s, and at the next hearing of
the summons the magistrates ordered the removal of the dangerous
walls. A claim was subsequently made for payment for expensive,
which defendant refused, and hence the present summons.
Mr. Traill stated that in his opinion the surveyor's expensive are
strictly limited to a fee of 20s. He did not believe that to act
contemplated the defendants should be saddled with large amounts of
costs.
Mr. Reeve:- But the defendant disputed his bad condition of the
building, the case was adjourned, and the commissioners were
compelled to call in other professional evidence. The surveyor
employed had received his fee of 2 guineas.
Mr. Triall:- I cannot help it if they expend 10 guineas. They might
have stood upon the evidence of their own surveyor. The question is,
whether according to the terms of the act a defendant can legally
charge more than a fee of 20s. for surveying a building, which may
be condemned as dangerous? My own opinion is that the fee of 20s.
includes all surveying expenses, but I will adjourn the summons in
order that the question may be considered by Mr. Socker, who
disposed of the original summons by condemning the premises.
