1 Spicer Street North West

Battersea

I have found reference to this pub called the "Freemasons Arms" and also "Star" but as yet don't know the connection between the two. I do know that at least one of them was still operating in 1922 when Mr & Mrs Lambert were there as General Domestic Servants in this beer house.

I am informed by Keith Rooney that Spicer Street was laid out in 1853, but demolished in 1969.

The borough dates from the London Government Act of 1899, and includes the greater part of the original ecclesiastical parish of St. Mary Battersea. Under the same Act Penge, formerly a hamlet of Battersea, was constituted a separate urban district...the curious anomalies of local government led to Penge's formation as a separate urban district and its transfer to the county of Kent in 1900. This would join London with neighbouring parishes in 1965. Penge was a wooded district, over which the tenants of Battersea Manor had common of pasture.
