Well over 500 pubs have this name, reflecting the popularity of an inn sign that has been used for some six hundred years. It is a simple visual symbol, easy to illustrate and easy to recognise whilst at the same time it demonstrates loyalty to the reigning monarch.
To 1896 this was the PRIMROSE HILL TAVERN. In 1935 & 1936 it advertised 'M&B's ales and stouts. Spirits and cigars. New and old customers always welcome.'
After demolition, the well known ironmonger's, Phillips of Hillfields, was built on the spot, around 1961. | |||
