Royal Veteran/Loughborough Park Tavern on Coldharbour Lane/ Moorlands Rd SW9

The occupants are listed on 1881 census.

One of their professions is down as "billiard marker"

Atlantic, Warrior, Prince Albert, Green Man, The Plough (in Kennington) are listed as existing in 1881 census on here, but no Royal Veteran

but I found something earlier, unless that entry belonged to another pub on Coldharbour Lane. This is infuriating. I hate you Ed

Loughborough 1881 (still can't find my billiard marker)

Yeah, they're the main two I came up with, along with a listing on a street index site. Ms Waters was sentenced to death!

Zoar was one of the Cities of the Plain that was spared when God smote Sodom and Gomorrah!

Possibly the earliest case of a cartographer's "trap street" gaining a real world existence by people fraudulently citing it as an address?

Well according to the transcripts of that trial, someone was picking up post from the Post Office in Zoar Place

The Post Office must have records?

However, it does seem very strange that there's barely any mention of it, although it is mentioned in a few censuses/census/censii up to 1881 (the earliest being 1851)

Excellent, 'cos I refuse to spend any more time on it! Was at it for hours last night.

There's one in Wales though

I'll leave that up to you or Ed

I did have a thought last night. How exactly do you know that the Royal Veteran was a pub?

On an entirely different note, I found that the reason the Russell used to have that neon Brady's sign is probably because there was a landlord/owner called Luke Brady (listed in the Post Office Directory in 1938)

What are those red squares, POs? It doesn't look like there's many of them. Or are they sorting offices?

I refuse to look at any more maps

No doubt you came across loads of members of Royal Veteran Battalions as well. I was wondering if they had homes for old soldiers or something, a bit like Chelsea? Alternatively, some depot or garrison? Or old boys social club or something?

Not helpful for your enquiries but there's a Zoar Inn in Forfar about 17 miles away from me.

yeh, it was the loughborough park tavern for years, till well after the fifties. but it's not listed in the *london* postal directories till about 1940 (as the loughborough park tavern). you'll need to go to the archives and have a look at the local directories and documents to find out more about it.

Zoar Place looks like it is the name of the dwelling - so, address would be Zoar Place, Coldharbour lane, sw9... etc...

Also found this pub: Sussex Arms - Sussex Road, Brixton, LAMBETH [1881] - Could this be the pub but a Sussex Road address?

no ... not sussex arms... Back to the drawing board...

Nonconformist Chapels were sometimes called Zoar or Soar.

(In my village in wales we had Soar, Salem and Sion)

A slight derail but another lost pub

This view is feels odd because in the distance you can see the loughborough hotel - you are basically looking at the view from near the kebab shop across the road from Jamm and pretty much everything in the view is now gone.

I was thinking along the same lines
