| Notes: | The 1819 revision to Horwood's map of London shows this pub taking up the entirety of the yard running in from Bermondsey Street at this address (presumably it was a coaching inn), though by the 1876 Ordnance Survey map it is just taking up a single building. There are archival records going back to the Elizabethan times referring to a "sign of the Hand" (or "Hand Inn") on Bermondsey Street, which was presumably this pub, but may possibly have been the nearby "Hand and Marigold" (see separate entry under "Marigold Bar"). |
