How about this one as the basis for a conspiracy theory?

The Pride of Spitalfields: lovely pub. Alas, it has a high TripAdvisor rating so it can be difficult to get a pint at all.
Despite its name I think it is really in a place called Whitechapel. Nothing much ever happened there: move along.
Dupin.

My last pint in London last year at Xmas was in the Pride of Spitalfields. Not been home since, flipping covid!

Strange I was just thinking of that place (probably of that last pint), do we know if it was open in 1888?

In 1889 was listed as a beer retailer ran by James Stewart later became the Romford Arms and name changed 1983!, hope that answers you question Tristain!!

Interesting! If I am right in remembering it is just over the way from what used to be the frying pan pub, of Nichols fame, on brick lane!

Correct Heneage Street!!

There was a brewery connected to the old pub on the site 3-7 Heneage St, John Turner & Sons. Not sure what the name was then, if any. It became the Romford arms when it started being supplied by the Star brewery in Romford, possibly around 1891. The two breweries may be connected, but Turner's moved to another location soon after. The pub remained. It became the Pride of Spitalfields when the supplying brewery changed to Fullers.

Important piece of kit.

Anyone else know what it is?

I think that is a boot-hook for pulling on those tall cavalry boots.

Yes, I saw that in the other replies, lol. Oh well, close but no cigar ... (not that I'd WANT a cigar, unless it was chocolate!)
