I'm interested in all histories, stories and pictures relating to the Gladstone Arms, 64 Lant Street (formerly 65).

This is my work in progress timeline largely sourced from census, electoral and other directories. There are lots of gaps I'd love to fill. I'm especially interested to learn about the lives of the people who lived and worked there. I have some bits and pieces already if anyone is interested.

Hi 101rob, welcome to the site and thank you for the information. Any bits and pieces you have of Lant Street or any other parts of the area would be of interest, especially pictures, Kiwi.

I did find these pictures of the Nellé family who ran the Gladstone Arms from 1900 until shortly before WWI. Theodor was from Germany originally and had previously run a bakery in Silvertown (near Canning Town) with his wife , Eliza (from Bethnal Green) before moving into the beer selling business in Lant St. I wondered if they may have been persecuted when the 1st World War started as many German families and businesses were at the time. He had moved to a house in Camberwell by 1914 and died the year after in March 1915. I went to Camberwell Old Cemetery the other day to try and find his grave but it seems to be in the section that's been bulldozed recemtly to make a new burial area.

Anyhow these portraits were posted on Ancestry.com by one their descendants in Canada, where Eliza and other family emigrated after Theodor died.

Wastepaper firm Lawsons in Lant Street was a blight on the area, Southwark Council rejected the firm’s application for continued use of the site for their business. The site is in the long run wanted for an extension for Charles Dickens school, although it is accepted that this will probably never be built.

These are also from the period when Lawsons Wastepaper were operating. I checked the Volvo's registration (JMM 399K) on the DVLA website. It was first registered in Nov 1971 and last logbook was issued Mar 1979, so that dates this photo to that period.

Lant street, Sanctuary Street left, formerly Harrow Street. In the 1900s the First building was a Leather Factory, the second building a Cork Factory.

I have been researching the history of the Gladstone Arms (64 Lant Street) for some time. I have compiled a chronology of owners / occupiers of the pub going back to the mid 19th century. The updated version is on a separate post on the Lant Street thread. Yesterday I visited the Southwark archives to view the Electoral Rolls to fill in more of the gaps in the Chronology.

I was able to find the names of the people living at the pub from the late 60s until around 2000, which included Leslie and Dorothy Watson, who had the pub in the 60's and 70's and Robert and Helen Meens, who were there through the 80s into the 90s. I would be interested if anyone has any memories or information about the pub or it's people during these years.
