| Notes: | Also known as the "Roebuck and French Horn" apparently, as this name occasionally shows up in Old Bailey criminal case records. Although numbered as 63 Turnmill Street in a 1791 Sun Fire Office insurance record (which would place it on the east of the street near Clerkenwell Green), Horwood's 1799 map marks a Roe Buck Court leading off the west side further to the south, presumably where the pub stood. This would also match a 1793 Old Bailey case in which the publican states that the pub is "in the middle of Turnmill Street" and mentions a Roe Buck Alley leading off it. |
