The address in 1856 and earlier was at 24 Exmouth Street, before road renumbering. In 1974 the pub had been renamed 'Hollands' - the address by then had become Brayford Square. Unfortunately it was badly damaged by fire in 1997 and never re-opened as a pub. The building is now in residential use. **

The Holland family took over from Henry EMMS around 1889-1890 to around
1928. The Trade
Directories are notoriously a year or two out of date. I understand from Mrs
HOLLAND, widow of last HOLLAND owner, that they sold the pub as a going
concern to Youngs but it didn’t prove a profitable investment for them.
Apparently, at one time it had a preservation order on it being one of the
last few surviving London pubs with its original Victorian interior decor.

In the 1901 census, John Partridge Holland’s father, William Reuben HOLLAND, was at
740 Old
Ford Road, Stratford Bow where he is listed as a beer retailer. I don’t
think he ever had a direct involvement with ‘Hollands’. ***

John Holland's sister Hester married Walter Benjamin Groves in 1903. Hester
and John's father William Reuben Holland is the William Holland visiting
Walter and Helen at The Crown, Commercial Road at the time of the 1911
census. William died later that year from septicaemia. *
At the time of Walter and Hester's marriage Walter was managing the 'George
Peabody' 146 High Street, Shadwell.
Walter's first wife, Alice May Harrison died at the George Peabody' in 1901.
Their only surviving child was Alfred b 1896. Alfred went on to manage The
White Horse at Hampstead which is where his father Walter B Groves died in
February 1923. Prior to his death Walter had been managing 'The Kings Arms'
by the Lion gate at Hampton Court.
About 1930 Walter's daughter, Lilian and her husband took over at the White
Horse and remained there until after the war. They then bought, I think, The
Beehive at Richmond and later moved to "The Rose of Lea" at Lea Green.
