Useful when trying to date a pub. For example, the Queen’s Head at the Cricket Green was a Crowley pub in 1893, so in 1911 it would have been a Hoare’s and then in 1933 it would have become a Charrington one.

In 1967 Charrington merged with Bass and Mitchell & Butler to form Bass Charrington Ltd.
In 1997 Bass Charrington sold off its pubs and the buyer created Punch Taverns.

Referred to in an article about the theft of lead.

Illustrated Police News – Saturday 26 March 1892

THEFT OF LEAD AT MITCHAM.

On Thursday, at the Croydon County Police-court, a youth, described as a labourer, named Edward Haines, giving his address as 1, Charlwood-terrace, Charlwood- road, Tooting, was charged with being concerned, with two other men not in custody, in stealing from the Clock House, Robinson-road, Collier’s-wood, a quantity of lead piping, value 16s., the property of Mr. William Dedman, a licensed victualler, of Mitcham.

John Roberts, of the Clock House, deposed that the lead had been stolen from the roof of an outhouse.

George Elliott, a lad, residing at 5, Harewood-road, Collier’s-wood, stated that on Monday he saw the prisoner with another man come out of the Clock House. They were joined by another man who stood outside. One carried a sack on his back, and it appeared to be very heavy.

Detective Thomas White, W Division, said that the prisoner was pointed out to him by the last witness. He arrested him on suspicion, and he said, “You have made.. a mistake,” but afterwards said, “I admit being there, but did not share in the money.”

A remand was granted for further inquiries.
