Duke's Head

Status: Closed and demolished
Address: 16 Mint Street, SE1 (streetmap) (osm) (gmap) (bingmap) (streetview)
Note: The location on these maps is approximate.
London borough: Southwark
Former address: [now Marshalsea Road]
Historical parish: Southwark St George the Martyr
Dates open: by 1788-at least 1851
Notes: Location on the map is a guess, based on its position in the 1851 census return, which seems to be taking in the stretch of the north side of Mint St from Borough High Street to Harrow Street (modern Disney Place). The numbering on Faden's 1819 revision of Horwood's map of London seems to bear this out. There are also some 1821 Sun Fire Office insurance records which refer to an address on Redcross Street (now Redcross Way) as being "near the Dukes Head".
