It’s a little tricky trying to work out the evolution of the pub’s name. I have it as Turk and Slave (1839), Turkish Slave (1842), Turkish Head (1844-1848), Turkish Slave (1851), Turk & Slave (1855-1875), then Jolly Butchers. Perhaps the name just wasn’t very clear in the early part of the 19th century ; at 141 Brick Lane at & before 1881 **
