There are lots of comments under our Where’s My Boozer Gone? story so far post. The most recent from Annie Green asks: “Anybody know about a pub called the Lady Coborn which was apparently on Old Ford Road, number 740. Which I think is now Wick Lane. I suspect it went during or after the last war. Any information gratefully received.”
I found a mention of Corborn Wharf below in a prewar PO directory. Then I found it in the PubWiki listed from 1871, but it seems to have disappeared in the 1930s. I couldn’t see the Lady Coborn in either my 1935 or 1939 directories. Can anybody help?
The map above is from a copy of the early 1960s Geographers’ Atlas of London I found in a charity shop.
Finally got there!
It’s listed under the Beer Retailers name, not the Lady Coborn.
