The pub stood opposite Culling Road and consequently opposite the Rotherhithe Hippodrome (ex Terris Theatre). Due to the straightening of Lower Road in the late 1980's, it would have been about 10 yards beyond the wall shown. First recorded in 1859 and closed in 1941 - 'closed' I believe due to German bombs as a stick of bombs fell in that area. The Terris Theatre opened 16-10-1899 and the opening programme carried adverts, one being, "For a 'quick one' during the interval visit the Star and Garter opposite". Map of 1914 records the address as a beer retailer.
