      Those two images seem to marry up quite nicely and (to me) it seems more likey that this is the pub know as the Horn of Plenty on the corner of Dorset.

        Thanks for that, Jerry. The canopy of the building on the left of the non-cropped 1912 image looks very much like that of the PR Refuge.

          Hi Richard,

          There seems to be a building missing between the pub and Little Paternoster Row.

          Regards,

          Simon
          Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

            In which photo, Simon?
            The two 'merged' photos fit perfectly with Goad's. The photo of Charrington's doesn't.

              Have a look at the link Jerry posted. There has obviously been demolition all around the pub.

                Yes, but the pub itself is still only 2 levels - Goad's map states 4 levels and I doubt they've demolished the top two levels to leave a 2 storey pub

                  Hi Richard,

                  Goad's shows four buildings between the pub and Little Paternoster Row—39, 38, 37 and 36.

                  On the non-Charringtons photo there are only three.

                  Hi Mr Barnett,

                  Did the pub get scalped as well?

                  Regards,

                  Simon

                    Agreed (about the extra building). Perhaps it would look a little like the updated merge, below:

                    The pub in that merge hasn't been scalped.

                      In the 1891 census, there is no indication that #5 Crispin is operating as a pub. #36 to 39 Dorset St are all there.

                      In 1901, #5 Crispin is the Horn of Plenty. #36 to 39 Dorset are still there.

                        The HoP was there in 1881. In 1886, nos 5 and 6 were being advertised as 4 storied warehouses and the HoP. So there may well have been some 'scalping' in the subsequent 24 years.

                          Using that photo (the first in this thread) and based directly on Goad's map, I've put together a 3D to plot the photo's building heights and the location of No13's archway. The last image (animation) is not 100% perfect but it demonstrates that the photo and Goad's map 'building levels' do match.

                            The Goad map (1888?) shows no. 5 as 4-storied. As I say above, in 1886 it was advertised for sale as a 4-storied warehouse/pub. One possible answer is that sometime between the date of the Goad and 1890, when the freehold of a pub alone is being offered for sale, the original building had been demolished and replaced with a two-storied pub. The original photo is thought be from 1895.

                            There is no doubt in my mind that the 1912 photo shows the Crispin Street/Duvall Street corner.

                            Great graphics BTW, Richardh

                              In 1911 Dorset St seems to terminate at #36.

                                Or rather, Duval St.
