Kings Arms, 83 Brook Street, Ratcliffe
In 1856 at 39 Brook Street at the intersection with Stepney Causeway. In the 1891 census, the Kings Arms is listed as 83 Stepney Causeway, as Brook Street is at the corner of Stepney Causeway. By 1940, the road names are changed, and this is now 513 Cable street
Sadly this unpretentious and hence handsome building is being demolished. As I biked past this afternoon a demolition crew were stripping off the roof beams [July 2010]. It will probably turn into yet another residential development aimed at City/Canary Wharf employees. ***
Converted to residential use behind a retained fa�ade with additional floors (2014). *+

My grandfather, Edward Kempton was granted a license for the Lord Nelson, Bishopsgate in March 1853 until about 1855. He was previously at the Old Commodore (aka Red Lion), High street, Poplar between 1850 and 1852, and later at the Ship, Shoreditch High street between 1859 and 1862, and lastly at the Kings Arms, Brook street, Ratcliff, apparently for two periods in the 1860's before his death in 1866. +*
