The Black Dog, Whitefriars Street c1960.
The address was occasionally misreported as Whitefriars Lane.
The Black Dog ceased to be a pub in 1923. To the right of it was another pair of weavers houses with an entry in-between which led to Court No.3.
This was a BEERHOUSE from 1835 - 1850.
In the 1841 census Joseph Edwards, 45, is a ribbon weaver journeyman at the Black Dog, Whitefriars Street. In 1851 he is 54 and a licensed victualler and weaver in White Friars Street. By 1861 he is 64 and a licensed victualler out of business at 46 Craven Street.
This pub appears in the will of 1869 of J. Edwards. In a footnote it states that J. Edwards kept the Black Dove in Whitefriars Street in 1850. This is obviously an error for the Black Dog.
