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

      Despite its name I think it is really in a place called Whitechapel. Nothing much ever happened there: move along.

      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?

          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!

              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.

                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!)
