Search the London & UK Pub History site and Street directory by historical Pub name or street address. The Pub history site is a major historical street directory of London and the Southern area of the UK, listing many Pubs (either closed or open); and street name changes between about 1840 and about 1940. If your Pub is still OPEN (and not a dead pub), why not send a picture and some details - to clarify this.

White Hart, High Street, Romford

Also see the History of Romford

Known to have existed in 1489, but rebuilt in 1896

High Street, Romford - circa 1920 to 1930

High Street, Romford - circa 1920 to 1930

On the left is Freeman, Hardy & Willis at 4 High Street, and probably the Ind Coope Brewery on the right. Further up the road on the right is almost certainly the White Hart, and in the distance is the junction with South Street where we have the Golden Lion, and then the Market Place continues onwards.
